Necessary Optimality Conditions in Isoperimetric Constrained Optimal Control Problems

Abstract

In this paper, we focus on a new class of optimal control problems governed by a simple integral cost functional and isoperimetric-type constraints (constant level sets of some simple integral functionals). By using the notions of a variational differential system and adjoint equation, necessary optimality conditions are established for a feasible solution in the considered optimization problem. More precisely, under simplified hypotheses and using a modified Legendrian duality, we establish a maximum principle for the considered optimization problem.
