Abstract

In this work we deal with the numerical solution of aHamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation with infinitely manysolutions. To compute the maximal solution – the optimalcost of the original optimal control problem – we present acomplete discrete method based on the use of some finite elementsand penalization techniques.
