On the structure of the singular set of solutions in one class of 3D time-optimal control problems

Abstract

A class of time-optimal control problems in terms of speed in three-dimensional space with a spherical velocity vector is considered. A smooth regular curve $\Gamma$ was chosen as the target set. Pseudo-vertices — characteristic points on $\Gamma,$ responsible for the appearance of a singularity in the optimal result function, are selected. The characteristic features of the structure of a singular set belonging to the family of bisectors are revealed. An analytical representation is found for the extreme points of the bisector corresponding to a fixed pseudo-vertex. As an illustration of the effectiveness of the developed methods for solving nonsmooth dynamic problems, an example of the numerical-analytical construction of resolving structures of a control problem in terms of speed is given.
