Necessary Optimality Conditions for Higher-Order Infinite Horizon Variational Problems on Time Scales
arXiv:1204.3329 · doi:10.1007/s10957-012-0065-y
Abstract
We obtain Euler-Lagrange and transversality optimality conditions for higher-order infinite horizon variational problems on a time scale. The new necessary optimality conditions improve the classical results both in the continuous and discrete settings: our results seem new and interesting even in the particular cases when the time scale is the set of real numbers or the set of integers.
