Abstract

Viability theory ([ 7, 9, Aubin] and [15 , Aubin, Bayen & Saint-Pierre]) designs and develops mathematical and algorithmic methods for investigating the adaptation to viability constraints of evolutions governed by complex systems under uncertainty that are found in many domains involving living beings, from biological evolution to economics, from environmental sciences to financial markets, from control theory and robotics to cognitive sciences.

Open loop controls can be only measurable. When the map \(f: X \times \mathcal{U}\mapsto X\) is continuous, the Carathéodory Theorem states that differential equation (8.1), p. 119 has solutions even when the open loop control is just measurable, (and thus, can be discontinuous as a function of time). This is the case whenever they take their values in a finite set, in which case they are usually called “bang-bang controls” in the control terminology.
