Course contents

L1-L2: Statement of PMP; discussion on how to use it, problems for which the PMP is also a sufficient optimality condition, relations with DP and Lagrange multiplier rule; proof of PMP.

L3: Optimal control to a manifold -- transversality conditions; boundary conditions on initial state.

L4: Optimal control problems with free time; time-optimal control; synthesis of optimal feedbacks via PMP in linear time-optimal control problems.

L5: If there is time left, there will be a brief discussion of examples where nothing is so simple as it may seem. Singular optimal controls; chattering regimes; PMP for discrete time systems; state constraints...
