Reachability for multiagent control systems via Lyapunov functions

Abstract: This paper concerns the problem of reachability of a given state for a multiagent control system in $\mathbb{R}^d$. In such a system, at every time each agent can choose his/her velocity which depends both on his/her position and on the position of the whole crowd of agents (modeled by a probability measure on $ \mathbb{R}^d$). The main contribution of the paper is to study the above reachability problem with a given rate of attainability through a Lyapunov method adapted to the Wasserstein space of probability measures. As a byproduct we obtain a new comparison result for viscosity solutions of Hamilton Jacobi equations in the Wasserstein space.
