Optimal control of impulsive systems with nonlocal boundary conditions

Abstract

In this paper we study an optimal control problem, where states of a control system are described by impulsive differential equations with nonlocal boundary conditions. With the help of the contraction principle we prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution to the corresponding boundary value problem with fixed admissible controls. We calculate the first and second variation of the functional. Using the variation of controls, we establish various necessary optimality conditions of the second order.
