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…

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…

Quantitative tightness for three-dimensional contact manifolds: a sub-Riemannian approach

Andrei A. Agrachev, Stefano Baranzini, Eugenio Bellini +1

Through the use of sub-Riemannian metrics we provide quantitative estimates for the maximal tight neighbourhood of a Reeb orbit on a three-dimensional contact manifold. Under appro…

Optimal Control for Linear Systems with L1-norm cost

Andrei Agrachev, Bettina Kazandjian

We study L 1 -optimal stabilization of linear systems with finite and infinite horizons. Main results concern the existence, uniqueness and structure of optimal solutions, and the…

Lyapunov Exponents of Linear Switched Systems

Andrei A. Agrachev, Michele Motta

We explicitly compute the maximal Lyapunov exponent for a switched system on . This computation is reduced to the characterization of optimal trajectories…

"Good Lie Brackets" for Control Affine Systems

Andrei Agrachev

We consider a smooth system of the form , and study controllability issues on the group of diffeomorphisms…
