Description
Summary:Necessary conditions of optimality in the form of Unmaximized Inclusions (UI) are derived for optimal control problems with state constraints. The conditions presented here generalize earlier optimality conditions to problems that may be nonconvex. The derivation of UI-type conditions in the absence of the convexity assumption is of particular importance when deriving necessary conditions for constrained problems. We illustrate this feature by establishing, as an application, optimality conditions for problems that in addition to state constraints incorporate mixed state-control constraints.
