In this paper, we investigate the nonlinear Lagrange dynamics associated with two classes of constrained controlled optimization problems involving second- order derivatives. More precisely, we formulate and prove necessary conditions of optimality for the considered variational control problems governed by simple integral functionals and second-order ordinary differential equation (ODE)/ isoperimetric constraints. Moreover, we propose an algorithm to synthesize the concrete steps to be followed for solving constrained controlled optimization problems.
