Abstract

We consider a class of infinite horizon optimal control problems as optimization problems in Hilbert spaces. For typical applications it is demonstrated that the state and control variables belong to a Weighted Sobolev – and Lebesgue space, respectively. In this setting Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle as necessary condition for a strong local minimum is shown. The obtained maximum principle includes transversality conditions as well.
