Abstract: We consider control-linear left-invariant time-optimal problems on step 2 Carnot groups with strictly convex set of control parameters (in particular, sub-Finsler problems). We describe all linear-in-momenta Casimirs on the dual of the Lie algebra. In the case of rank 3 Lie groups we describe the symplectic foliation on the dual of the Lie algebra. On this basis we show that extremal controls are either constant or periodic. Some related results for other Carnot groups are presented.

Review text

Control-linear left-invariant time-optimal control problems on step-2 Carnot groups are considered. The set of control parameters is assumed to be convex, compact and contain the origin in its interior. All Casimirs linear in momenta on the dual of the corresponding Lie algebra are described. For the special case where the number of generators equals 3, the symplectic foliation on the dual of the Lie algebra is described. It is shown that for step-2 Carnot algebras with 3 generators, if strict convexity of the set of control parameters is assumed, all normal extremal controls are continuous and constant or periodic. The author recalls from the literature that the latter result cannot be generalized to step-2 Carnot algebras with 4 generators or to step-3 Carnot algebras with 2 generators.
