Abstract

The first part of the paper is devoted to length estimates of the boundary of the reachable set for the plane and state constrained controlled system x'(t) = c(t, x(t)) b(t) (where |b(t)| <= 1 a.e.). This study is motivated in the second part by the analysis of dislocation dynamics, which can be modeled as a curve G( t) moving in an open set O subset of R-2 according to some nonlocal law with Neumann boundary conditions on partial derivative O. The length estimates of the first part play a crucial role in the proof of the existence and uniqueness of a viscosity solution for this model.
