Abstract

We prove the convergence of a steepest descent iterative procedure for determining an “extremal” point of a function defined on a sequentially compact convex subset of a topological vector space. We then apply this procedure to the problem of determining an extremal of a relaxed optimal control problem defined by ordinary differential equations without endpoint or unilateral restrictions.
