We consider the direct product of two symplectomorphisms, one of which exhibits a basic set and the other one a non-degenerate elliptic equilibrium. Under a domination condition we show that a broad class of real-analytic deformations of…
Discrete-time robust optimal control problems generally take a min-max structure over continuous variable spaces, which can be difficult to solve in practice. In this paper, we extend the class of such problems that can be solved through a…
