Abstract
A general method able to meet the technical requirements of the process control has been developed between 1956 and 1960 by L.S. Pontryagin and his collaborators. The theory based on this method is presently considered the most powerful mathematical tool that can be used to solve optimal control problems with constraints expressed by ordinary differential equations.
