Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Pontrjagin's maximum principle holds for a switchable distribution of C1-regular nonautonomous vector fields on a finite dimensional C2-manifold. The flow-theoretic proof does not require that the distribution contains those autonomous fields that correspond to constant controllers in the classical formulation.
