Abstract
We consider a dynamical system subjected to feedback optimal control in such a way that the evolution of the state exhibits both sudden jumps and continuous changes. Previously obtained necessary conditions (Ref. 1) for such impulsive optimal feedback controls are generalized to admit the case of infinite time horizon; this generalization permits application to a wider class of problems. The results are illustrated by application to a version of the innkeeper's problem.
