On stationarity conditions in an optimal control problem with a simple contact with the phase boundary

Abstract

A certain class of optimal control problems with a one-dimensional phase constraint is considered. When a trajectory contacts the phase boundary on an interval, we employ a special procedure (two-stage variation) to obtain optimality conditions in the Gamkrelidze form and then in the Dubovitskii–Milyutin form, including the sign definiteness property measure density and its jumps at junction points.
