Nonsmooth Constrained Optimal Control on Infinite Horizon: A Brief Course

This book provides an introduction to nonsmooth constrained optimal control theory over infinite horizon, tackling the mathematical challenges that arise when classical finite-horizon methods prove inadequate. The work focuses on recent advances in handling nonsmooth time-dependent data and state constraints—scenarios that commonly arise in fields such as engineering, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

At its core, the book establishes foundational contributions, including viabil...
