Abstract
Given a set of nonholonomic constraints, there are two interesting associated problems. One of these is nonvariational (namely, the Lagrange-d’Alembert principle) appropriate for the dynamics of constrained mechanical systems, which we studied extensively in Chapter 5, while the other is variational, which is appropriate for optimal control problems. In this chapter we concentrate on these optimal control problems.
