Usually such problems feature both concentration and oscillation effects at the same time. We propose relaxing to an associated problem in space-time, where the controls can be considered bounded in $L^\\infty$, greatly simplifying any analysis. In this relaxation, concentrations are transformed into vertical parts and oscillations can be dealt with using Young-measures. This technique can be extended to similar problems on infinite-dimensional spaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-03-11T13:56:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "49J45", "49J15", "49J20" ], "keywords": [ "optimal control problems", "space-time relaxation", "vertical type relaxation", "similar problems", "problems feature" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
