The Hamiltonian property of the flow of singular trajectories
- M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, Moscow (Russian Federation)
Pontryagin's maximum principle reduces optimal control problems to the investigation of Hamiltonian systems of ordinary differential equations with discontinuous right-hand side. An optimal synthesis is the totality of solutions to this system with a fixed terminal (or initial) condition, which fill a region in the phase space one-to-one. In the construction of optimal synthesis, singular trajectories that go along the discontinuity surface N of the right-hand side of the Hamiltonian system of ordinary differential equations, are crucial. The aim of the paper is to prove that the system of singular trajectories makes up a Hamiltonian flow on a submanifold of N. In particular, it is proved that the flow of singular trajectories in the problem of control of the magnetized Lagrange top in a variable magnetic field is completely Liouville integrable and can be embedded in the flow of a smooth superintegrable Hamiltonian system in the ambient space.
