Minimum principle and controllability for multiparameter discrete inclusions via derived cones (Q871381)

The author studies the reachable set associated to a multiparameter difference inclusion. A key tool in this paper is the concept of derived cone in the sense of Hestenes. Such concept allows the author to obtain a certain linearized version of the difference inclusion. The main result consists in relating the reachable set of the original difference inclusion and reachable set of the linearized difference inclusion. Similar papers has been written before in the context of continuous time differential inclusions.
