Necessary optimality conditions for quasi-singular controls for systems with Caputo fractional derivatives

Abstract

In this paper, we consider an optimal control problem in which a dynamical system is controlled by a nonlinear Caputo fractional state equation. First we get the linearized maximum principle. Further, the concept of a quasi-singular control is introduced and, on this basis, an analogue of the Legendre-Clebsch conditions is obtained. When the analogue of Legendre- Clebsch condition degenerates, a necessary high-order optimality condition is derived. An illustrative example is considered.
