A proximal gradient method for control problems with nonsmooth and nonconvex control cost

We investigate the convergence of an application of a proximal gradient method to control problems with nonsmooth and nonconvex control cost. Here, we focus on control cost functionals that promote sparsity, which includes functionals of $L^p$-type for $p\in [0,1)$. We prove stationarity properties of weak limit points of the method. These properties are weaker than those provided by Pontryagin's maximum principle and weaker than $L$-stationarity.
