Abnormal extremals of left-invariant sub-Finsler quasimetrics on four-dimensional Lie groups with three-dimensional generating distributions

Abstract

We find three-dimensional subspaces of four-dimensional connected Lie algebras, generating these algebras, and abnormal extremals on connected Lie groups with these Lie algebras and with left-invariant sub-Finsler quasimetrics defined by seminorms on such subspaces. In terms of the structure constants of Lie algebras and dual seminorms, we establish a criterion for the strong abnormality of these extremals.
