Abstract

This paper describes the analysis under generic assumptions of the small time minimal syntheses for single input affine control systems in dimension 3, submitted to state constraints. We use geometric methods to evaluate the small time reachable set and necessary optimality conditions. Our work is motivated by the optimal control of the atmospheric arc for the re-entry of a space shuttle, where the vehicle is subject to constraints on the thermal flux and on the normal acceleration
