Trajectory stabilization of nonlocal continuity equations by localized controls

Optimization and Control 2024-03-06 v1

Abstract

We discuss stabilization around trajectories of the continuity equation with nonlocal vector fields, where the control is localized, i.e., it acts on a fixed subset of the configuration space. We first show that the correct definition of stabilization is the following: given an initial error of order ε\varepsilon, measured in Wasserstein distance, one can improve the final error to an order ε1+κ\varepsilon^{1+\kappa} with κ>0\kappa>0. We then prove the main result: assuming that the trajectory crosses the subset of control action, stabilization can be achieved. The key problem lies in regularity issues: the reference trajectory needs to be absolutely continuous, while the initial state to be stabilized needs to be realized by a small Lipschitz perturbation or being in a very small neighborhood of it.
