The first part of the paper is dedicated to the theory of quadratic conditions for non-singular extremals with discontinuous controls. The results of that theory are then used in a certain class of optimal control problems. The simplest problem of the calculus of variations deals with the controlled object \[ \dot{x}=u,\quad x(t_{0})=x_{0}, \quad x(T)=x_{1}, \] where \(x \in R^{2}\), \(u\) is a measurable and bounded control function, \(x(.)\) is absolutely continuous on the fixed time interval \([0, T]\), \(T < \infty\). A criterion for the optimum is given by the formula: \[ I=\min \Biggl\{\int_{0}^{T} F(x,u,t) dt \Biggr\}, \] where \(F\) is a twice continuously differentiable functional. The results of the obtained solution of the above defined optimum problem are applied to the solution of the optimal control problem of the following dynamical object: \(\dot{x}=f(x(t),u(t),t)\) with constraints \(F(p) \leq 0\), \(K(p)=0\) where \(x\), \(u\) are vector functions. A minimum criterion is given as the following functional \(I(\theta):=I(p)\), where \(\theta\) is any trajectory \(p=(x(t_{0}),t_{0},x(T),T)\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0921.00020].
