Optimal control for unstructured nonlinear differential-algebraic equations of arbitrary index
We study optimal control problems for general unstructured nonlinear differential-algebraic equations of arbitrary index. In particular, we derive necessary conditions in the case ...

The Hybrid Maximum Principle is a consequence of Pontryagin Maximum Principle
We give a simple proof of the Maximum Principle for smooth hybrid control systems by reducing the hybrid problem to an optimal control problem of Pontryagin type and then by using...
