During the last years, asymptotic (or sequential) constraint qualifications, which postulate upper semicontinuity of certain set-valued mappings and provide a natural companion of asymptotic stationarity conditions, have been shown to be…
Optimization theory in Banach spaces suffers from the lack of available constraint qualifications. Despite the fact that there exist only a very few constraint qualifications, they are, in addition, often violated even in simple…

Here we derive a nonsmooth maximum principle for optimal control problems with both state and mixed constraints. Crucial to our development is a convexity assumption on the "velocity set". The approach consists of applying known…
The asymptotic Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (AKKT) optimality conditions are distinguished from other approaches in the literature by virtue of their capacity to be effectively derived through numerical methods, such as the utilization of an…

We deal with a singularly perturbed optimal control problem with slow and fast variable depending on a parameter {\epsilon}. We study the asymptotic, as {\epsilon} goes to 0, of the corresponding value functions, and show convergence, in…

Though switched dynamical systems have shown great utility in modeling a variety of physical phenomena, the construction of an optimal control of such systems has proven difficult since it demands some type of optimal mode scheduling. In…
Based on the tools of limiting variational analysis, we derive a sequential necessary optimality condition for nonsmooth mathematical programs which holds without any additional assumptions. In order to ensure that stationary points in this…

We consider the simplest optimal control problem with one nonregular mixed inequality constraint, i.e. when its gradient in the control can vanish on the zero surface. Using the Dubovitskii--Milyutin theorem on the approximate separation of…
