Abstract: For a control Cauchy problem ${\displaystyle }$dot x= {f}(t,x,u,v) +sum_{alpha=1}^m g_alpha(x) dot u_alpha,quad x(a)=�ar x, ${\displaystyle }$ on an interval $[a,b]$, we propose a notion of limit solution $x,$ verifying the following properties: i) $x$ is defined for $mathcal{L}^1$ (impulsive) inputs $u$ and for standard, bounded measurable, controls $v$; ii) in the commutative case (i.e. when $$ for all $$), $x$ coincides with the solution one can obtain via the change of coordinates that makes the $g_{a}lpha$ simultaneously constant; iii) $x$ subsumes former concepts of solution valid for the generic, noncommutative case. In particular, when $u$ has bounded variation, we investigate the relation between limit solutions and (single-valued) graph completion solutions. Furthermore, we prove consistency with the classical Carath'eodory solution when $u$ and $x$ are absolutely continuous. Even though some specific problems are better addressed by means of special representations of the solutions, we believe that various theoretical issues call for a unified notion of trajectory. For instance, this is the case of optimal control problems, possibly with state and endpoint constraints, for which no extra assumptions (like e.g. coercivity, bounded variation, commutativity) are made in advance.

Review text

The authors study differential equations controlled by the weak derivative of a measurable function of time called control. Since the weak derivative of a function of time can be a measure, these are sometimes called impulsive control problems. For these problems, a meaningful notion of solution is available a) when the control is Lebesgue integrable and the Lie algebra of the control vector field is trivial; b) when the control has bounded variation and the Lie algebra can be non-trivial. In this interesting and carefully written paper, the authors unify these two classes of solutions by introducing the notion of limit solution. In addition to provide new results, the paper can be used as a survey on approximately 30 years of research on the appropriate notion of solution to impulsive control problems.
