Abstract

We consider the optimal control problem from view point of parametric aspects. We have examined two cases of the parameterized problems. First case describes the situation when the objective functional contains time t as a parameter. We also show how to apply the parametric optimization techniques, such as pathfollowing methods, for finding a nominal optimal control path.
