Title:

Optimal Control of the Moreau’s Sweeping Process

Abstract:

In this talk, we will present some recent and new results on the optimal control of the Moreau’s Sweeping Process (SP). In particular, we will present a novel approach for proving a version of the Pontryagin Maximum Principle in a quite general setting. Such an approach exploits a kind of small-time local controllability property which the SP dynamics naturally satisfies in a neighborhood of the moving constraint. Open problems and further research directions will be extensively discussed.
