Theory and Applications of Bang-Bang and Singular Control Problems
May 18, 2010
University of British Columbia
We consider optimal control problems with control appearing linearly. The evaluation of the Pontryagin Minimum Principle shows that optimal controls are composed of bang-bang and singular arcs. Values of bang-bang controls switch discontinuously...
