Abstract:

Hestenes’ method of multipliers is applied to a nonlinear optimal control problem. This requires that a differentially constrained problem be embedded in a family of unconstrained problems so as to preserve standard sufficiency criteria. Given an initial estimate of the Lagrange multipliers, a convergent sequence of arcs is generated. They are minimizing with respect to members of the above family, and their limit is the solution to the differentially constrained problem.
