Abstract
We consider sequences of suboptimal (i.e. close to optimal) controls in the context of optimal control problems for general input-output systems involving a point target condition. A sequence maximum principle for these sequences is obtained using Ekeland’s variational principle, and is then applied to show convergence of suboptimal controls for quasihnear distributed parameter systems, both of parabolic and hyperbolic type.
