Abstract

The aim of the paper is to provide a linearization approach to the $\mathbb{L}^{\infty}$-control problems. We begin by proving a semigroup-type behaviour of the set of constraints appearing in the linearized formulation of (standard) control problems. As a byproduct we obtain a linear formulation of the dynamic programming principle. Then, we use the $\mathbb{L}^{p}$ approach and the associated linear formulations. This seems to be the most appropriate tool for treating $\mathbb{L}^{\infty}$ problems in continuous and lower semicontinuous setting.
