    We give existence theorems of solutions for Lagrange and Bolza problems of optimal control. These results are obtained without convexity assumptions on the cost function with respect to the control variable. We extend a Cesari's theorem to cost functions which are nonlinear with respect to the space variable and to problems which are governed by a differential inclusion. Moreover, we consider the case where the control variable belongs to a space of measurable functions and the case where this variable belongs to a Lebesgue space.
