Review text

In this survey paper, the authors discuss the convergence of the values of a continuous convex function, defined on a general Banach space, to its infimum along the trajectories of a continuous dynamical system governed by vector fields. In this context two theorems are presented. The first one is concerned with infinite horizon trajectories, while the second deals with finite horizon perturbed trajectories. Next, they examine the situation for Lipschitzian functions which are not necessarily convex. A class of vector fields associated with such a function is introduced and a porosity result for this class is presented. Finally, they discuss continuous descent methods for Lipschitzian functions which satisfy the Palais-Smale condition. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1023.00014].
