Sufficient Conditions in the Calculus of Variations and in the Theory of Optimal Control

Abstract: Abstract.A method is described for obtaining criteria confirming the optimality of solutions found either by integrating the Euler-Lagrange equations, or by applying the Pontrjagin necessary condition. The method is based on convexity considerations, and its success in a given problem depends on the judicious choice of certain arbitrary auxiliary functions.

“…Similarly, in the study of sufficient conditions for calculus of variations problems, starting with a solution of the Euler-Lagrange equation, aside the usual methods related to the Jacobi equation (that is the linearized Euler-Lagrange equation), Nehari [21] provides another method using auxiliary functions. In this section we extend his approach to infinite-horizon problems.…”
