Switching in time-optimal problem: the 3D case with 2D control

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study local structure of time-optimal controls and trajectories for a 3-dimensional control-affine system with a 2-dimensional control parameter with values in the disk. In particular, we give sufficient conditions, in terms of Lie bracket relations, for optimal controls to be smooth or to have only isolated jump discontinuities.


The time-optimal problem for the 3D affine control system with controls restricted in the unit disk is studied. It is shown that any time-optimal trajectory contained in a small neighborhood of a point in the system manifold (except a discrete subset of ``bad points) is bang-bang with no more than one switching. Sufficient conditions are provided, in terms of the Lie brackets of vector fields, determining whether the time-optimal controls are smooth or present isolated jump discontinuities. For the latter case, the jumps at the switching point are expressed in terms of Lie bracket relations.
