Abstract

Parameter-dependent optimal control problems for nonlinear ordinary differential equations, subject to control and state constraints, are considered. Sufficient conditions are formulated under which the solutions and the associated Lagrange multipliers are locally Lipschitz continuous and directionally differentiable functions of the parameter. The directional derivatives are characterized.
