Abstract

This paper considers an optimal impulse control problem of dynamical systems generated by a flow. The performance criteria are total costs over the infinite time horizon. Apart from the main performance to be minimized, there are multiple constraints on performance functionals of a similar type. Under a natural set of compactness-continuity conditions on the system primitives, we establish a linear programming approach, and prove the existence of a stationary optimal control strategy out of a more general class of randomized strategies. This is done by making use of the tools from Markov decision processes.
