Relaxation methods for optimal control problems

We consider a nonlinear optimal control problem with dynamics described by a differential inclusion involving a maximal monotone map A : ℝN → 2ℝN. We do not assume that D(A) = ℝN, incorporating in this way systems with unilateral constraints in our framework. We present two relaxation methods. The f...
