Revisiting the analysis of optimal control problems with several state constraints
Second-order analysis for optimal control problems with pure state constraints and mixed control-state constraints
Stability and sensitivity analysis for optimal control problems with a first-order state constraint and application to continuation methods
The paper deals with an optimal control problem with a scalar first-order state constraint and a scalar control. In presence of (nonessential) touch points, the arc structure of the trajectory is not stable. Under some reasonable assumptions, we show that boundary arcs are structurally stable, and that touch point can either remain so, vanish or be transformed into a single boundary arc. Assuming a weak second-order optimality condition (equivalent to uniform quadratic growth), stability and...
