Index theorems for graph-parametrized optimal control problems
arXiv:2201.09719 · doi:10.1088/1361-6544/acc5d4
Abstract
In this paper we prove Morse index theorems for a big class of constrained variational problems on graphs. Such theorems are useful in various physical and geometric applications. Our formulas compute the difference of Morse indices of two Hessians related to two different graphs or two different sets of boundary conditions. Several applications such as the iteration formulas or lower bounds for the index are proved.
