Abstract

A state-constrained optimal control problem is considered in which the starting position is fixed and the terminal position is free. The endpoints are strictly included within the set shaped by the given state constraint which is considered scalar. For this problem formulation, the second-order necessary optimality conditions are derived including the Legendre condition over the critical cone.
