OPTIMAL CONTROL OF MULTISOLUTION ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS IN THE ABSENCE OF CONVEXITY

In this paper,the authors study an optimal control problem governed by a class of multistateordinary differential equations in the absence of convexity.To overcome the difficulty that thecorresponding approximate optimal control problem may have no solution,relaxed controls are introduced.With the help of relaxation theory,Pontryagin's maximum principle for the optimal pairs ofthe original control problem is obtained.In the end of this paper,the authors discuss the applicationof the maximum principle by an example.
