Sensitivity analysis of value functional of fractional optimal control problem with application to construction of optimal feedback control

Abstract

We consider an optimal control problem for a dynamical system described by a Caputo fractional differential equation and a terminal cost functional. We prove that, under certain assumptions, the (non-smooth, in general) value functional of this problem has a property of directional differentiability of order $\alpha$. As an application of this result, we propose a new method for constructing an optimal positional (feedback) control strategy.
