A geometric method is described to characterize the different kinds of extremals in optimal control theory. This comes from the use of a presymplectic constraint algorithm starting from the necessary conditions given by Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. The algorithm must be run twice so as to obtain suitable sets that once projected must be compared. Apart from the design of this general algorithm useful for any optimal control problem, it is shown how to classify the set of extremals and, in particular, how to characterize the strict abnormality. An example of strict abnormal extremal for a particular control-affine system is also given.

AbstractIn this paper consider we optimal control problems with linear state constraints where the states can be discontinuous at the boundary. In fact the state vector models the cause the position and velocity of a particle where the collisions with the boundary that cause the discontinuities are elastic. Necessary conditions are derived by looking at limits of approximate problems that are unconstrained.
