Exploitable results Optimal control and differential games: theory, numerical methods and applications During the first two years the Network has supported several short term visits devoted to establish contacts (in both directions) within the teams of the project. The main scientific results obtained by the researchers of the network are: -Second order necessary and sufficient conditions for weak local optimality in presence of state-control constraints (Firenze, Steklov Inst.) -Wellposedness of optimal control problems.

Grid schemes to design a dynamic Nash equilibrium in evolutionary games.(Ekaterinburg, Genova) -Characterisation of the value functions of different control problems ( e.g. optimal time with and without controllability and coercivity assumptions, H-infinity control problems, differential games) as unique solutions of the corresponding boundary value problems.
