Abstract

This paper deals with the concepts of measure controls and of measure vector fields, within the mathematical framework of measure differential equations (MDEs), recently proposed in~\cite{piccoli_measure_2019}. Measure controls can be seen as a generalization of relaxed control. Moreover, they are particularly suitable for studying dynamics with uncertainty. The main results of this paper include establishing the existence and well-posedness of control systems with measure controls and proving the equivalence between measure controls and measure vector fields. The stability and closure properties of the trajectory set are also studied.
