Differentiability in perturbation parameter of measure solutions to perturbed transport equation

Abstract

We consider a linear perturbation in the velocity field of the transport equation. We investigate solutions in the space of bounded Radon measures and show that they are differentiable with respect to the perturbation parameter in a proper Banach space, which is predual to the H\"older space $\mathcal{C}^{1+\alpha}(\mathbb{R}^d)$. This result on differentiability is necessary for application in optimal control theory, which we also discuss
