Abstract
In this paper, we study the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equation of zerosum differential games with discontinuous running cost. For such class of equations, the uniqueness of the solutions is not guaranteed in general. We prove principles of optimality for viscosity solutions where one of the players can play either causal strategies or only a subset of continuous strategies. This allows us to obtain nonstandard representation formulas for the minimal and maximal viscosity solutions and prove that a weak form of the existence of value is always satisfied. We state also an explicit uniqueness result for the HJI equations for piecewise continuous coefficients, in which case the usual statement on the existence of value holds.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
