On the minimal time function for distributed control systems in Banach spaces (Q791865)

In this paper, it is shown that the minimal time function is locally Lipschitz continuous for the control system \(x'=Ax+u\) in a Banach space E, under either of two conditions: A is linear and generates a \(C_ 0\)- semigroup of bounded linear operators; or A is nonlinear, possibly multivalued, and dissipative. The main tool used for the nonlinear case is a result of Barbu concerning the null controllability of the system.
