Abstract

Using the direct scheme method, we construct an asymptotic expansion for the solution of a singularly perturbed optimal problem in critical case with cheap control and two fixed end-points. The asymptotic solution contains the outer series and two boundary-layer series in the vicinities of the two end-points. The error estimates for state and control variables and the functional are obtained. It is shown that the value of minimized functional does not increase when a higher-order approximation to the optimal control is used. An illustrative example is given.
