Differential inclusions and quasi-Lyapunov functions

A sufficient condition for existence of a solution of a differential inclusion with a uniformly bounded right-hand side that has nonempty closed (possibly nonconvex) values is obtained. An Olech-type result is obtained as a corollary. An example, which originates from the Fuller problem from optimal control theory, is given to demonstrate the applicability of the main result.

Characterizations of some transversality-type properties

Primal characterizations (necessary and sufficient conditions) and slope characterizations of subtransversality, intrinsic transversality and transversality are obtained. The metric nature of intrinsic transversality is established. The relation of intrinsic transversality and tangential transversality is clarified. The equivalence of our characterization of intrinsic transversality and the primal characterization of intrinsic transversality of Thao et al. in the setting of Hilbert spaces is proved, while in general Banach spaces our characterization is less restrictive.

On tangential transversality

This is the first of two closely related papers on transversality. Here we introduce the notion of tangential transversality of two closed subsets of a Banach space. It is an intermediate property between transversality and subtransversality. Using it, we obtain a variety of known results and some new ones in a unified way. Our proofs do not use variational principles and we are concentrated mainly on tangential conditions in the primal space.

On strong tangential transversality

This is the second of two closely related papers on transversality. Here we introduce the notion of strong tangential transversality of two closed subsets of a Banach space which is a natural sufficient condition for tangential transversality. Some properties of uniform tangent sets are obtained. A new sum rule for the Clarke subdifferential is proven.

Properties of uniform tangent sets and Lagrange multiplier rule

The concept of uniform tangent sets was introduced and discussed in [3 - Krastanov, Ribarska, SIAM J. Control Optim., 55(3), 2017]. This study is devoted to their further investigation and to generalization of the abstract Lagrange multiplier rule from [3].

Projection process with definable right-hand side

We study the relation between sweeping processes with the cone of limiting normals and projection processes. We prove the existence of solution of a perturbed sweeping process with the cone of limiting normals and of nonstationary projection process, provided the sets involved are definable (and are moving in a definable way) in some o-minimal structure. An application to a crowd motion model is presented.
