Hamilton-Jacobi equations for optimal control on 2-dimensional junction (English)
[ Abstract ]
We are interested in infinite horizon optimal control problems on 2-dimensional junctions (namely a union of half-planes sharing a common straight line) where different dynamics and different running costs are allowed in each half-plane. As for more classical optimal control problems, ones wishes to determine the Hamilton-Jacobi equation which characterizes the value function. However, the geometric singularities of the 2-dimensional junction and discontinuities of data do not allow us to apply the classical results of the theory of the viscosity solutions.
We will explain how to skirt these difficulties using arguments coming both from the viscosity theory and from optimal control theory. By this way we prove that the expected equation to characterize the value function is well posed. In particular we prove a comparison principle for this equation.
