Abnormal extremals of left-invariant sub-Finsler quasimetrics on four-dimensional Lie groups with three-dimensional generating distributions (Q2160176)

This paper deals with abnormal extremals of left-invariant sub-Finsler quasimetrics on four-dimensional Lie groups with three-dimensional generating distributions. In this paper, the authors first find the three-dimensional subspaces of four-dimensional Lie algebras which generate the algebras, as well as abnormal extremals on the connected Lie groups determined by these algebras and endowed with the left-invariant sub-Finsler quasimetrics defined by seminorms on the subspaces. Using the structure constants of Lie algebras and dual seminorms, authors establish a criterion for the strict abnormality of the extremals.
