Step-like contrast structure for class of nonlinear singularly perturbed optimal control problem

Abstract

The step-like contrast structure for a class of nonlinear singularly perturbed optimal control problems is considered. The existence of the step-like contrast structure for the singularly perturbed optimal control problem is proved by equivalence, which is based on the necessary conditions. The authors not only give the conditions under which there exists a step-like contrast structure, but also determine where the internal transition time is. Meanwhile, the uniformly valid asymptotic expansion of the step-like contrast structure solution is constructed by the direct scheme method. Finally, an example is presented to show the result.
