Optimal Control: Novel Directions and Applications

Abstract

This chapter aims at being a friendly presentation of various results related to optimality conditions of Optimal Control problems. Different classes of systems are considered, such as equations with time delays and/or state constraints, dynamics affine with respect to the control variables, problems governed by partial differential equations and systems arising from Classical Mechanics, among others.
