Stability and solvability for a class of optimal control problems described by non-instantaneous impulsive differential equations

Advances in Difference Equations, 2020
In this paper, we investigate the existence and stability of solutions for a class of optimal control problems with 1-mean equicontinuous controls, and the corresponding state equation is described by non-instantaneous impulsive differential equations ...

Minimal stable sets in tournaments [PDF]

Journal of Economic Theory, 2011
We propose a systematic methodology for defining tournament solutions as extensions of maximality. The central concepts of this methodology are maximal qualified subsets and minimal stable sets. We thus obtain an infinite hierarchy of tournament solutions, which encompasses the top cycle, the uncovered set, the Banks set, the minimal covering set, the ...

K-mean convex and K-outward minimizing sets

, 2021
We consider the evolution of sets by nonlocal mean curvature and we discuss the preservation along the flow of two geometric properties, which are the mean convexity and the outward minimality. The main tools in our analysis are the level set formulation
