This work constitutes the author's dissertation thesis for habilitation in the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science from the Nicolaus Copernicus University, Poland. It represents a very interesting monograph of an innovative approach for certain discontinuous value functions in control systems and differential games. The central idea of this approach is to express a discontinuous value function as the unique solution of a corresponding dynamical system (of Hamilton-Jacobi type), in some weak sense. Definitions of the weak solutions were also pioneered by E. N. Barron, R. Jensen and H. Frankowska. The latter developed the so called ``viability approach which consists in the unique characterization of the value function through the invariance properties of its epigraph, with respect to an appropriate dynamical system. The dissertation presents in detail the application of this method for value functions associated with time measurable control systems, control problems with state constraints, time measurable differential games, differential games with discontinuous terminal cost and multitime Hamilton-Jacobi systems. Geometric conditions that are both necessary and sufficient for viability or invariance properties of the value functions are established. The author also develops generalizations of the viability and invariance theorems. We distinguish the clear style of presentation for all the topics included and, as well, the thoroughness of perspective offered by the multitude of details and insight in the subject matter.
