Abstract:

This monograph is devoted to numerical integration of set-valued mappings. The approach chosen by the author is based on the following two facts: (1) the Aumann integral of a set-valued mapping F: [0,T] -> |Rn is a convex set and can be identified with its support function; (2) the value of the support function in any direction equals the integral of the support function of F in the same directions. For calculation of the latter integrals one can use any quadrature formula for (single-valued) functions. The accuracy of approximation depends on the chosen quadrature formula and on the ``smoothness" properties of the support function.
The realization of this approach and the corresponding error analysis are based on certain mathematical techniques that are comprehensively presented in the monograph: calculus with sets, elements of convex analysis (in particular, properties of the support function), moduli of smoothness, properties of the Aumann integral, and error estimates for classical quadrature formulae (Newton-Cotes, Gauss, Romberg, etc.).
The approach leads to a variety of set-valued quadrature formulae and corresponding error estimates. A separate chapter is devoted to numerical approximation of the reachable set of linear control systems, where error estimates are also obtained. Finally, possible computer implementations are discussed and a number of examples and computer plots are provided.
The monograph is clearly written, self-contained and could be useful for mathematicians interested in numerical analysis, control theory, set-valued analysis and differential inclusions.
