We introduce a time-optimal control theory in the space of positive and finite Borel measures. We prove some natural results, such as a dynamic programming principle, the existence of optimal trajectories, regularity results and an HJB equation for the value function in this infinite-dimensional setting. The main tool used in the superposition principle (by Ambrosio-Gigli-Savaré) which allows to represent the trajectory in the space of measures as weighted superposition of classical characteristic curves in .
Keywords: Time-optimal control, dynamic programming, optimal transport, differential inclusions, multi-agent systems
