Abstract: In this work we study extremals on three-dimensional connected Lie groups

G

endowed with a left invariant polyhedral Finsler structure. We use the Pontryagin's Maximal Principle (PMP) to find curves on the cotangent bundle of the group, such that its projections on

G

are extremals. Let

m a t h f r a k g

and

m a t h f r a k g^{a} s t

be the Lie algebra of

G

and its dual space respectively. We represent this problem as a control system

m a t h f r a k a^{p} r i m e (t) = - m a t h r m {a d}^{a} s t (u (t)) (m a t h f r a k a (t))

of Euler-Arnold type equation, where

u (t)

is a measurable control in the unit sphere of

m a t h f r a k g

and

m a t h f r a k a (t)

is an absolutely continuous curve in

m a t h f r a k g^{a} s t

. A solution

(u (t), m a t h f r a k a (t))

of this control system is a Pontryagin extremal and

m a t h f r a k a (t)

is its vertical part. In this work we show that for a fixed vertical part of the Pontryagin extremal

m a t h f r a k a (t)

, the uniqueness of

u (t)

such that

(u (t), m a t h f r a k a (t))

is a Pontryagin extremal can be studied through an asymptotic curvature of

m a t h f r a k a (t)

.
