Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the value function in time-optimal differential games. Suppose that some function to be tested is constructed. It is required to prove that this function coincides with the value function of the game. A theorem on sufficient conditions for a tested function to coincide with the value function of the time-optimal differential game under consideration is proved. The theorem covers the case of a discontinuous value function. An application of the theorem is illustrated by an example of a time-optimal second-order differential game with the dynamics of conflict-controlled material point.
