| Abstract: | In this paper, we consider a class of Optimal Control problems involving first boundary value problems of parabolic type. A strong variational algorithm has been obtained for solving this class of optimal control problems in a paper by the author and D. W. Reid. It was also shown that any L∞ accumulation points of control sequences generated by the algorithm satisfy a necessary condition for optimality. Since such accumulation points need not exist, it is shown in this paper that control sequences generated by the algorithm always have accumulation points in the sense of control measure, and these accumulation points satisfy a necessary condition for optimality for the corresponding relaxed control problem. |
