The paper investigates the property of Strong Metric sub-Regularity (SMsR) of the mapping representing the first order optimality system for a Lagrange-type optimal control problem which is affine with respect to the control. The terminal time is fixed, the terminal state is free, and the control values are restricted in a convex compact set U. The SMsR property is associated with a reference solution of the optimality system and ensures that small additive perturbations in the system result in solutions which are at distance to the reference one, at most proportional to the size of the perturbations. A general sufficient condition for SMsR is obtained for appropriate space settings and then specialized in the case of a polyhedral set U and purely bang-bang reference control. Sufficient second-order optimality conditions are obtained as a by-product of the analysis. Finally, the obtained results are utilized for error analysis of the Euler discretization scheme applied to affine problems.

A maximum principle is proved for certain problems of optimal control of diffusions where hard end constraints occur. The results apply to several dimensional problems, where some of the state equations involve Brownian motions, but not the equations corresponding to states being hard restricted at the terminal time.

We consider a series of optimal control problems with 2-dimensional control lying in an arbitrary convex compact set Ω. The considered problems are well studied for the case when Ω is a unit disc, but barely studied for arbitrary Ω. We derive extremals to these problems in general case by using machinery of convex trigonometry, which allows us to do this identically and independently on the shape of Ω. The paper describes geodesics in (i)  the Finsler problem on the Lobachevsky hyperbolic plane; (ii) left-invariant sub-Finsler  problems on all unimodular 3D Lie groups (SU(2), SL(2), SE(2), SH(2)); (iii) the problem of rolling ball on a plane with distance function given by Ω;  (iv) a series of "yacht problems" generalizing Euler's elastic problem, Markov-Dubins problem, Reeds-Shepp problem and a new sub-Riemannian problem on SE(2); and (v)  the plane dynamic motion problem.
