Minimax Solutions of Hamilton--Jacobi Equations with Fractional Coinvariant Derivatives

Mikhail Gomoyunov

Abstract

We consider a Cauchy problem for a Hamilton--Jacobi equation with coinvariant derivatives of an order $α\in (0, 1)$. Such problems arise naturally in optimal control problems for dynamical systems which evolution is described by ordinary differential equations with the Caputo fractional derivatives of the order $α$. We propose a notion of a generalized in the minimax sense solution of the considered problem. We prove that a minimax solution exists, is unique, and is consistent with a classical solution of this problem. In particular, we give a special attention to the proof of a comparison principle, which requires construction of a suitable Lyapunov--Krasovskii functional.

Such problems arise naturally in optimal control problems for dynamical systems which evolution is described by ordinary differential equations with the Caputo fractional derivatives of the order . We propose a notion of a generalized in the minimax sense solution of the considered problem. We prove that a minimax solution exists, is unique, and is consistent with a classical solution of this problem. In particular, we give a special attention to the proof of a comparison principle, which requires construction of a suitable Lyapunov--Krasovskii functional.
