Verification Theorems for Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equationsAbstract: We study an optimal control problem in Bolza form and we consider the value function associated to this problem. We prove two verification theorems which ensure that, if a function $W$ satisfies some suitable weak continuity assumptions and a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman inequality outside a countably $\mathcal H^n$-rectifiable set, then it is lower or equal to the value function. These results can be used for optimal synthesis approach.
