Abstract

Two computational procedures for solving a class of bottleneck problems with state delay are presented. The first one uses a direct computation scheme for the solution of the continuous-time problem, while the second one is obtained by discretizing the continuous-time problem using piecewise constant controls on small intervals. Examples show that these two approaches agree.
