Abstract

This paper presents the role of vector relative degree in theformulation of stationarity conditions of optimal control problemsfor affine control systems. After translating the dynamics into anormal form, we study the Hamiltonian structure. Stationarityconditions are rewritten with a limited number of variables. Theapproach is demonstrated on two and three inputs systems, then, weprove a formal result in the general case. A mechanical systemexample serves as illustration.
