On constrained impulsive control problems

This paper considers constrained impulsive control problems for which the authors propose a new mathematical concept of control required for the impulsive framework. These controls can arise in engineering, in particular, in problems of space navigation. We derive necessary extremum conditions in the form of the Pontryagin maximum principle and also study conditions under which the constraint regularity clarifications become weaker. In the proof of the main result, Ekeland's variational principle is used. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.
