Abstract: | The present paper is concerned with the study of quadratic control problems on linear spaces. In particular, we are concerned with the conditions under which a quadratic criterion function is positive on certain linear spaces. This involves the elementary theory of conjugate and focal points, the existence of a conjugate system with a nonvanishing determinant, and the existence of extremal fields. The results given are in part a translation into control language of known theory for the problem of Bolza. The method used is based on the Hilbert space techniques developed earlier by the author. |
