Abstract

In this paper we study an approximation scheme for a class of control problems involving an ordinary control v, an impulsive control u and its derivative $\dot u$. Adopting a space-time reparametrization of the problem which adds one variable to the state space we overcome some difficulties connected to the presence of $\dot u$. We construct an approximation scheme for that augmented system, prove that it converges to the value function of the augmented problem and establish an error estimates in L∞ for this approximation. Moreover, a characterization of the limit of the discrete optimal controls is given showing that it converges (in a suitable sense) to an optimal control for the continuous problem.
