We derive a formula for the proximal subdifferential of the bilateral minimal time function in the linear case. As a consequence, we prove some new regularity properties for this function, essentially, we provide suitable weak controllability assumption under which its epigraph is locally φ0-convex.
Keywords: Bilateral and unilateral minimal time function, linear control system, phi-convexity, proximal analysis, nonsmooth analysis.
