Nonlinear Analysis: Theory, Methods & Applications, 1997
In optimal control problems, where the operator describing the dynamics of the process and the terminal condition is not regular, that is, its first Fréchet derivative is not surjective at the optimal process, the fundamental first-order necessary conditions offered by the Pontryagin maximum principle do not provide useful and sufficient information ...

Maximum principles in analytical economics [PDF]
Synthese, 1971 The very name of my subject, economics, suggests economizing or maxi mizing. But Political Economy has gone a long way beyond home econo mics. Indeed, it is only in the last third of the century, within my own life time as a scholar, that economic theory has had many pretensions to being itself useful to the practical businessman or bureaucrat.

The strong maximum principle of E. Hopf says that a solution of an elliptic PDE cannot assume an interior maximum. This leads to further results about solutions of such PDEs, like removability of singularities, gradient bounds, or Liouville’s theorem saying that every bounded harmonic functions defined on all of Euclidean space is constant.

The stochastic maximum principle (SMP) gives some necessary conditions for optimality for a stochastic optimal control problem. We give a summary of well-known results concerning stochastic maximum principle in finite-dimensional state space as well as some recent developments in infinite-dimensional state space.

This chapter represents the basic concepts of Classical Optimal Control related to the Maximum Principle. The formulation of the general optimal control problem in the Bolza (as well as in the Mayer and the Lagrange) form is presented. The Maximum Principle, which gives the necessary conditions of optimality, for various problems with a fixed and ...

The maximum principle is formulated and proved first for control problems with fixed terminal time. As an illustration, a new derivation of the solution to the linear regulator problem is given. Next the maximum principle for impulse control problems and for time optimal problems are discussed.

We present here the most significant results which are customarily grouped under the name of Maximum Principle. It supplies a set of necessary conditions of optimality for a wide class of optimal control problems. Firstly, we give a formal, yet synthetic, description of these problems is given.

Maximum and Comparison Principles [PDF]
, 1977 The purpose of this chapter is to provide various maximum and comparison principles for quasilinear equations which extend corresponding results in Chapter 3. We consider second order, quasilinear operators Q of the form (10.1) Qu = aij(x, u, Du)Diju + b(x, u, Du), aij = aji, where x = (x1..., xn) is contained in a domain Ω of ℝn, n ≥ 2, and, unless ...

We consider classical linear and quasilinear elliptic inequalities as well as divergence structure and variational operators, with emphasis on the important topics of comparison results and tangency theorems. This work ultimately applies also to weak solutions in appropriate Sobolev spaces. In order that the book may serve the purposes of reference and

On the strong maximum principle
Complex Variables and Elliptic Equations, 2019In this paper we study the strong maximum principle for equations of the form F[u]=H(u,|Du|) where F is either a fully nonlinear elliptic operator or is the p-Laplace operator.
