Abstract: According to the goal of the Conference in Bedlewo, dedicated to the 50-th anniversary of Optimal Control theory, and considering that the 2008 year marked the centennial birthday of Lev Semenovich Pontryagin, I decided to devote my talk to a brief account on the discovery of the maximum principle and to an analysis of its basic feature, the Hamiltonian format.

Part I of this paper introduced the notion of implicit Lagrangian systems and their geometric structure was explored in the context of Dirac structures. In this part, we develop the variational structure of implicit Lagrangian systems. Specifically, we show that the implicit Euler-Lagrange equations can be formulated using an extended variational principle of Hamilton called the Hamilton-Pontry...

In this paper the diierential equations describing the minimal length curves satisfying the integral constraining relations of a general type are obtained. Moreover, an additional necessary condition supplementing Pontryagin maximum principle for the generalized isoperimetric problem is established. All results are illustrated by the analysis of generalized Dido's problem.

We classify extremal curves in free nilpotent Lie groups. The classification is obtained via an explicit integration of the adjoint equation in Pontryagin Maximum Principle. It turns out that abnormal extremals are precisely the horizontal curves contained in algebraic varieties of a specific type. We also extend the results to the nonfree case.

In this paper we will study three hypotheses proposed by L. I. Rozonoer [1] in optimal control theory in order to derive conditions for the existence of an optimal control under all initial conditions, and the relationships between Pontryagin maximum principle and the dynamic programming method.

The purpose of this paper is to provide an a]ternate statement of the Pontryagin maximum principle as applied to systems which are most conveniently and naturally described by matrix, rather than vector, differential or difference equations. The use of gradient matrices facilitates the manipulation of the resultant equations. The ~heory is applied to the solution of a simple optimization problem.

The established via Jacobian matrix Routh-Hurwi...

In this paper, we define and study sub-Riemannian structures on Banach manifolds. We obtain extensions of the Chow-Rashevski theorem for exact controllability, and give conditions for the existence of a Hamiltonian geodesic flow despite the lack of a Pontryagin Maximum Principle in the infinite dimensional setting.

We review some recent results on the theory of Lagrangian systems on Lie algebroids. In particular we consider the symplectic and variational formalism and we study reduction. Finally we also consider optimal control systems on Lie algebroids and we show how to reduce Pontryagin maximum principle.

An analytical expression for the optimal control of an Ebola problem is obtained. The analytical solution is found as a first-order approximation to the Pontryagin Maximum Principle via the Euler–Lagrange equation. An implementation of the method is given using the computer algebra system Maple. Our analytical solutions confirm the results recently reported in the literature using numerical met...
