Notes

  1. 1.

    Here it is additionally assumed that for allowed input functions \(u(\cdot )\) and generated output functions \(y(\cdot )\) the integral \(\int ^{t_1}_{t_0} s(u(t),y(t)) dt\) is well defined.

  2. 2.

    Here we naturally restrict to continuous solutions.

  3. 3.

    Here it is assumed that \(\dot{x} = f(x,u(x))\) has unique solutions on \([0,\infty )\) for all initial conditions.

  4. 4.

    Note however that there does not always exist such a state of minimal internal energy. In particular \(\inf _x S_a(x)=0\) but not necessarily the minimum is attained.
