The aim of this expository paper is apparently that of launching of a, what the author calls, ``canonical theory of a strong minimum for optimal control (in particular, calculus of variations) problems stated in the following ``canonical form: \[ \text{minimize} \;J(x(t_0),t_0;x(t_1),t_1) \] subject to: \[ F(x(t_0),t_0;x(t_1),t_1)\leq 0, \;K(x(t_0),t_0;x(t_1),t_1)=0 \] \[ x'(t)=f(x(t),u(t),t), \;(x(t),u(t),t)\in Q= \text{Int}(Q) \text{ a.e. } ([t_0,t_1]) \] where the mappings \(J,F,K,f\) are assumed to be of class \(C^1\) (i.e., continuously differentiable). One considers the Pontryagin function and the canonical Hamiltonian: \[ H(\psi,x,u,t)= \langle\psi,f(x,u,t)\rangle, \] \[ {\mathcal H}(\psi,x,t)= \max_{u\in Q(x,t)} H(\psi,x,u,t), \quad Q(x,t)=\{u; \;(x,u,t)\in Q\} \] and one assumes that a family \(\{S_\mu\); \(\mu\in M \}\) of (smooth) solutions of the ``canonical Hamilton-Jacobi equation \[ S_t+{\mathcal H}(S_x,x,t)=0, \quad (S_x,x,t)\in \text{dom}({\mathcal H}) \] is given. Author's ``canonical theory seems to consist in reducing the original problem to a new one in which one minimizes the same functional under the same constraints to which one adds the following conditions: \[ S_\mu(x(t_1),t_1)-S_\mu(x(t_0),t_0)\leq 0 \;\forall \mu \in M. \] This approach is illustrated on two examples accompanied by some comments concerning the ``shortcomings and insufficiency of the classical theory of fields of extremals in calculus of variations. The Appendix of the paper contains the study of a rather complicated example for which it is shown that the adjoint variable in Pontryagin's Maximum Principle is discontinuous.
