[For the entire collection see Zbl 0695.00015.] Consider the control system \(\dot x(t)=f(x(t),u(t))\), \(u(t)\in U\) where \(U\subset R^ m\) is compact and \(f:R^ n\times U\to R^ n\) is continuous. Given subsets \(C_ 0\), \(C_ 1\) of \(R^ n\), let \(K\) be the set of all functions \(x\in W^{1,1}([0,1],R^ n)\) for which there exists a measurable control \(u:[0,1]\to R^ n\) satisfying the above system such that \(x(0)\in C_ 0\) and \(x(1)\in C_ 1\). Given a Lipshitz function \(\Phi:R^ n\to R\), \textit{H. Frankowska} [Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré, Anal. Non Linéaire 2, 75-99 (1985; Zbl 0576.49013)] obtained a maximum principle for the problem \[ \int^ 1_ 0\Phi(x(t))dt\to\min\quad(x\in K). \] In the present article the author considers the same problem without the assumption that the functional to be minimized actually attains its minimum and derives a suboptimal solution to the problem.
