This paper studies an optimal control problem for a system governed by a nonlocal balance equation, which models the evolution of a particle distribution. In the examined model, particles move according to a vector field and may disappear. The phase space for this problem is the space of non-negative measures. We prove the existence of an optimal relaxed control, establish a dynamic programming principle, and demonstrate that the value function is a viscosity solution of the corresponding Hamilton–Jacobi equation on the space of non-negative measures.
Keywords: controlled balance equation, optimal control problem, viscosity solution, space of non-negative measures.
