Second order optimality conditions for piecewise regular extremals in Optimal Control
Andrei A. Agrachev, Michele Motta
We study second-order optimality conditions for optimal control problems with integral cost. We consider extremals obtained by concatenating finitely many regular arcs and prove bo…

Asymptotics of motion planning complexity for control-affine systems
Michele Motta, Dario Prandi
In this paper, we study the complexity of the approximation of nonadmissible curves for nonlinear control-affine systems satisfying the strong H{ö}rmander condition. Focusing on t…

Singular extremals of optimal control problems with cost
Andrei Agrachev, Ivan Beschastnyi, Michele Motta
We study the optimal control problem for a control-affine system, where we want to minimize the norm of the control. First, we show how Pontryagin Maximum Principle (PMP) app…
