Abstract

The paper deals with a Ritz type discretization for constrained optimal control problems. The approach starts from a primal-dual formulation containing the Hamilton-Jacobi inequality in integrated form. For the discrete problems there are given conditions guaranteeing the optimality of the limit solution. They take the form of a discrete analogy to certain matrix Riccati differential inequality.
