A class of local variational problems with an arbitrary degeneration in the goal function (Q1363928)

The application of the extension procedure of optimal trajectories [\textit{A. P. Afanas'ev}, \textit{V. V. Dikusar}, \textit{A. A. Milyutin} and \textit{S. A. Chukanov}: ``A necessary condition in optimal control'' (1990; Zbl 0724.49014)], reduces to solving the local variational problems that arise for critical values of the extension parameter and simulate the arising switching situations. Here, I study the class of local problems that describe a switching situation. The technique I use to study these problems almost completely corresponds to that developed to study the generalized isoperimetric problem [\textit{A. P. Afanas'ev}, Differ. Uravn. 29, No. 11, 1856-1867 (1993; Zbl 0815.93039)].
