Solving optimal control problems by means of general Lagrange functionals

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A class of nonlinear Lagrange functionals was introduced and, corresponding to these functionals, derive some sufficient conditions for the optimal control problem. A class of quadratic control problems generalizing the one considered by Brockett for nonholonomic motion planning was discussed. The proposed method was applied to linear descriptor systems.
