limit solutions for control systems
For a control Cauchy problem on an interval , we
propose a notion of limit solution verifying the following properties: i)
is defined for (impulsive) inputs and for standard,
bounded measurable, controls ; ii) in the commutative case (i.e. when
for all ),
coincides with the solution one can obtain via the change of coordinates that
makes the simultaneously constant; iii) subsumes former concepts
of solution valid for the generic, noncommutative case.
In particular, when has bounded variation, we investigate the relation
between limit solutions and (single-valued) graph completion solutions.
Furthermore, we prove consistency with the classical Carath\'eodory solution
when and are absolutely continuous.
Even though some specific problems are better addressed by means of special
representations of the solutions, we believe that various theoretical issues
call for a unified notion of trajectory. For instance, this is the case of
optimal control problems, possibly with state and endpoint constraints, for
which no extra assumptions (like e.g. coercivity, bounded variation,
commutativity) are made in advance
Applications of Variational Maximum Principle to Optimization Models with Discontinuous Trajectories
Variational Optimality Conditions with Feedback Descent Controls that Strengthen the Maximum Principle
We derive nonlocal necessary optimality conditions that strengthen both
classical and nonsmooth Maximum Principles for nonlinear optimal control problems with free right-hand end of trajectories. The strengthening is due to employment of feedback
controls, which are assumed to ensure a descent of a value of the cost functional, and are
extremal with respect to certain solutions of a Hamilton – Jacobi inequality for weakly
monotone functions. The main results are Feedback Minimum Principles for smooth
and nonsmooth problems, that are formulated through accessory dynamic optimization
problems. Effectiveness of these necessary optimality conditions are illustrated by examples

Feedback Minimum Principle for Quasi-Optimal Processes of Terminally-Constrained Control Problems
In a series of previous works, we derived nonlocal necessary optimality conditions for free-endpoint problems. These conditions strengthen the Maximum Principle and are unified under the name “feedback minimum principle”. The present paper is aimed at extending these optimality conditions to terminally constrained problems. We propose a scheme of the proof of this generalization based on a “lift” of the constraints by means of a modified Lagrange function with a quadratic penalty. Implementation of this scheme employs necessary optimality conditions for quasi-optimal processes in approximating optimal control problems. In view of this, in the first part of the work, the feedback minimum principle is extended to quasi-optimal free-endpoint processes (i.e. strengthen the so-called -perturbed Maximum Principle). In the second part, this result is used to derive the approximate feedback minimum principle for a smooth terminally constrained problem. In an extended interpretation, the final assertion looks rather natural: If the constraints of the original problem are lifted by a sequence of relaxed approximating problems with the property of global convergence, then the global minimum at a feasible point of the original problem is admitted if and only if, for all , this point is -optimal, for all approximating problems of a sufficiently large index. In respect of optimal control with terminal constraints, the feedback -principle serves exactly for realization of the formulated assertion
