Pontryagin Maximum Principle and Stokes Theorem (1812.07875v2)
Published 19 Dec 2018 in math-ph, math.DG, math.MP, and math.OC
Abstract: We present a new geometric unfolding of a prototype problem of optimal control theory, the Mayer problem. This approach is crucially based on the Stokes Theorem and yields to a necessary and sufficient condition that characterizes the optimal solutions, from which the classical Pontryagin Maximum Principle is derived in a new insightful way. It also suggests generalizations in diverse directions of such famous principle.
