Extremal curves in nilpotent Lie groups (1207.3985v2)
Published 17 Jul 2012 in math.DG, math.AP, math.GR, math.MG, and math.OC
Abstract: We classify extremal curves in free nilpotent Lie groups. The classification is obtained via an explicit integration of the adjoint equation in Pontryagin Maximum Principle. It turns out that abnormal extremals are precisely the horizontal curves contained in algebraic varieties of a specific type. We also extend the results to the nonfree case.
