Functional determinants for the second variation

From MaRDI portal
Publication:6131219




Abstract: We study the determinant of the second variation of an optimal control problem for general boundary conditions. Generically, this operators are not trace class and the determinant is defined as a principal value limit. We provide a formula to compute this determinant in terms of the linearisation of the extremal flow. We illustrate the procedure in some special cases, proving some Hill-type formulas.
