Optimal Control Problems with Vector-Valued Impulse Controls and Time Delays

Optimization and Control 2024-09-02 v1

Abstract

We consider a nonlinear control system with vector-valued measures as controls and with dynamics depending on time delayed states. First, we introduce a notion of discontinuous, bounded variation solution associated with this system and establish an equivalent representation formula for it, inspired by the approach known in delay-free impulsive control as the `graph completions' method. Then, thanks to this equivalent formulation, we prove well-posedness properties of these solutions and also derive necessary optimality conditions in the form of a Maximum Principle for an associated minimization problem.
