Abstract

This is the second article in the series that began in [4]. Jacobi curves were defined, computed, and studied in that paper for regular extremals of smooth control systems. Here we do the same for singular extremals. The last section contains a feedback classification and normal forms of generic single-input affine in control systems on a 3-dimensional manifold.
