Abstract

We investigate optimal control problems with L0L^0 constraints, which restrict the measure of the support of the controls. We prove necessary optimality conditions of Pontryagin maximum principle type. Here, a special control perturbation is used that respects the L0L^0 constraint. First, the maximum principle is obtained in integral form, which is then turned into a pointwise form. In addition, an optimization algorithm of proximal gradient type is analyzed. Under some assumptions, the sequence of iterates contains strongly converging subsequences, whose limits are feasible and satisfy a subset of the necessary optimality conditions.
