Invariant Sets for Controlled Degenerate Diffusions: A Viscosity Solutions Approach

  • Chapter
Stochastic Analysis, Control, Optimization and Applications

Part of the book series: Systems & Control: Foundations & Applications ((SCFA))

Abstract

We study invariance and viability properties of a closed set for the trajectories of either a controlled diffusion process or a controlled deterministic system with disturbances. We use the value functions associated to suitable optimal control problems or differential games and analyze the related Dynamic Programming equation within the theory of viscosity solutions.
