In this paper, we consider an optimal control problem of an ordinary differential inclusion governed by the hypergraph Laplacian, which is defined as a subdifferential of a convex function and then is a set-valued operator. We can assure the existence of optimal control for a suitable cost function by using methods of a priori estimates established in the previous studies. However, due to the multivaluedness of the hypergraph Laplacian, it seems to be difficult to derive the necessary optimality condition for this problem. To cope with this difficulty, we introduce an approximation operator based on the approximation method of the hypergraph, so-called “clique expansion.” We first consider the optimality condition of the approximation problem with the clique expansion of the hypergraph Laplacian and next discuss the convergence to the original problem. In appendix, we state some basic properties of the clique expansion of the hypergraph Laplacian for future works.
