Abstract
In this section we return to the linear system
where A(·), B(·), and c(·) are continuous on [0, ∞), the general target
which is continuous (in the Hausdorff metric), the cost functional
the control region
and the admissible control class U = UM. We shall prove an existence theorem (Theorem 6.2) and a necessary condition (Theorem 6.5) for optimality, neither of which is as general as those which will be presented in §7 and §8. However, in linear time optimal case, we are able to see some of the geometric aspects of control which are not at all obious in the general case.
