On Weak Variational Control Inequalities via Interval Analysis

Abstract

This paper deals with the connections between the interval-valued optimal control problem and the associated weak variational control inequality. More precisely, by considering the (strictly) LU-convexity and path independence properties of the involved curvilinear integral functionals, we establish a result on the existence of LU-optimal solutions for the interval-valued optimal control problem under study, and a result on the existence of solutions for the associated weak variational control inequality.
