The approach consists of imbedding the original control problem tightly in a convex mathematical programming problem on the space of measures and then solving the latter problem by duality in convex analysis. The dual to the control problem is to find the supremum of all smooth subsolutions to...

Because of the clearly important role cooperative systems play in areas such as military sciences, biology, communications, robotics, and economics, just to name a few, the study of cooperative systems has intensified. This book provides an insight in the basic understanding of cooperative...
