Maximum principle and its extension for bounded control problems with boundary conditions (Q1777646)

Summary: This note is focused on a bounded control problem with boundary conditions. The control domain need not be convex. A first-order necessary condition for optimality is obtained in the customary form of the maximum principle, and a second-order necessary condition for optimality of singular controls is derived on the basis of the second-order increment formula using the method of increments along with the linearization approach.
