Here, by making use of the notion of set-valued Lie bracket we obtain a Goh-type condition for a control affine system with Lipschitz continuous dynamics and unbounded controls. In order to manage the simultaneous lack of smoothness of the adjoint equation and of the Lie bracket-like variations we make use of the notion of Quasi Differential Quotient. We conclude the paper with a worked out example where the established higher order condition is capable to rule out the optimality of a control verifying the standard maximum principle.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-03-06T23:21:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "unbounded controls", "goh conditions", "nonsmooth problems", "higher order necessary conditions", "optimal control problem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
