On a Control Problem for a System of Implicit Differential Equations

Abstract

We consider the differential inclusion F(t,x,x˙)∋0 with the constraint x˙(t)∈B(t), t∈[a,b], on the derivative of the unknown function, where F and B are set-valued mappings, F:[a,b]×Rn×Rn×Rm⇉ is superpositionally measurable, and B:[a,b]⇉Rn is measurable. In terms of the properties of ordered covering and the monotonicity of set-valued mappings acting in finite-dimensional spaces, for the Cauchy problem we obtain conditions for the existence and estimates of solutions as well as conditions for the existence of a solution with the smallest derivative. Based on these results, we study a control system of the form f(t,x,x˙,u)=0, x˙(t)∈B(t), u(t)∈U(t,x,x˙), t∈[a,b].
