Abstract
This note is focused on a bounded control problem
with boundary conditions. The control domain need not be convex.
First-order necessary condition for optimality is obtained in the
customary form of the maximum principle, and second-order
necessary condition for optimality of singular controls is
derived on the basis of second-order increment formula using the
method of increments along with linearization approach.
