Abstract

We consider a control problem for systems described by ordinary differential equations with linear controls. The solution of the control problem for a three-dimensional nilpotent system with two-dimensional control is presented in the classes of trigonometric controls, piecewise constant controls, and controls minimizing the sub-Riemannian length functional. The corresponding programmed controls and synthesis families are constructed.
