Abstract

We consider a nonlinear control system involving a maximal monotone map and with a priori feedback. We assume that the control constraint multifunction \(U(t,x)\) is nonconvex valued and only lsc in the \(x \in \mathbb{R}^{N}\) variable. Using the Q-regularization (in the sense of Cesari) of \(U(t,\cdot )\), we introduce a relaxed system. We show that this relaxation process is admissible.
