Viability Theory in the $1$-Wasserstein Space

Analysis of PDEs 2025-11-26 v1

Abstract

In this article, we establish necessary and sufficient viability conditions for continuity inclusions over the 1-Wasserstein space. Depending on the regularity properties of the dynamics, we derive two results which are based on fairly different proof strategies. When the admissible velocities are Lipschitz in the measure variable, we show that it is necessary and sufficient for viable solutions to exist that the latter intersect the graphical derivative of the constraints. On the other hand, when the admissible velocities are merely upper semicontinuous in the measure variable, we provide a sufficient condition for viability involving the infinitesimal behaviour of their Aumann integral over a neighbouring set of measures.
