The key element of the approach to the theory of necessary conditions in optimal control discussed in the paper is reduction of the original constrained problem to unconstrained minimization with subsequent application of a suitable…
The Pontryagin's Maximum Principle allows, in most cases, the design of optimal controls of affine nonlinear control systems by considering the sign of a smooth function. There are cases, although, where this function vanishes on a whole…
We consider optimal control problems, where the control appears in the main part of the operator. We derive the Pontryagin maximum principle as a necessary optimality condition. The proof uses the concept of topological derivatives. In…
In this paper the necessary conditions of optimality in the form of maximum principle are derived for a very general class of variational problems. This class includes problems with any optimization criteria and constraints that can be…

We establish a variety of results extending the well-known Pontryagin maximum principle of optimal control to discrete-time optimal control problems posed on smooth manifolds. These results are organized around a new theorem on critical and…
Second-order necessary conditions for optimal control problems are considered, where the ``second-order" is in the sense of that Pontryagin's maximum principle is viewed as a first-order necessary optimality condition. A sufficient…
In this study, we consider an optimal control problem driven by a stochastic differential equation with state constraints. Here, the state constraints mean the constraints about the path of state. In order to show the maximum principe for…
We propose a proof of the maximum principle for the general Pontryagin type optimal control problem, based on packages of needle variations. The optimal control problem is first reduced to a family of smooth finite-dimensional problems, the…
We generalize the Maximum Principle for free end point optimal control problems involving sweeping systems derived in [9] to cover the case where the end point is constrained to take values in a certain set. As in [9], an ingenious smooth…
We derive a Maximum Principle for optimal control problems with constraints given by the coupling of a system of ODEs and a PDE of Vlasov-type. Such problems arise naturally as ${\Gamma}$-limits of optimal control problems subject to ODE…
