Duality in the optimal control for damped hyperbolic systems with positive control
We study the duality theory for damped hyperbolic equations. These systems have positive controls and convex cost functionals. Our main results lie in the application of duality theorem, that is, inf J = sup K, on various cost functions.

Duality models for some nonclassical problems in the calculus of variations
Parametric and nonparametric necessary and sufficient optimality conditions are established for a class of nonconvex variational problems with generalized fractional objective functions and nonlinear inequality constraints containing arbitrary norms. Based on these optimality criteria, ten parametric and parameter‐free dual problems are constructed and

On the convergence of min/sup points in optimal control problems
We modify the definition of lopsided convergence of bivariate functionals to obtain stability results for the min/sup points of some control problems. In particular, we develop a scheme of finite dimensional approximations to a large class of non‐convex control problems.

Dualization and discretization of linear-quadratic control problems with bang–bang solutions
We consider linear-quadratic (LQ) control problems, where the control variable appears linearly and is box-constrained. It is well-known that these problems exhibit bang–bang and singular solutions. We assume that the solution is of bang–bang type, which

A remark on Gwinner′s existence theorem on variational inequality problem
Gwinner (1981) proved an existence theorem for a variational inequality problem involving an upper semicontinuous multifunction with compact convex values. The aim of this paper is to solve this problem for a multifunction with open inverse values.

$c$ -cyclical monotonicity is the most important optimality condition for an optimal transport plan. While the proof of necessity is relatively easy, the proof of sufficiency is often more difficult or even elusive.
