Abstract

Dynamical systems with controlled singularities, such as mechanical systems with active unilateral constraints, are characterized by the admission of the impulsive control actions within their singular motion phases. In a series of our recent works a novel physically based methodology for the singularity description in this class of systems was proposed. The present work introduces a new optimal control problem formulation for these systems, establishes the existence of the optimal solutions, and derives the optimality conditions.
