Abstract

Continuing research in [13] and [14] on well-posedness of the optimal time control problem with a constant convex dynamics in a Hilbert space we adapt one of the regularity conditions obtained there to a slightly more general problem, where nonaffine additive term appears. We prove existence and uniqueness of a minimizer in this problem as well as continuous differentiability of the value function, which can be seen as the viscosity solution to a Hamilton-Jacobi equation, near the boundary.

Keywords
