  • Abstract
    For optimal control problems with state space constraints given by control-invariant manifolds of relative degree 1, we describe a local field of extremals near junctions between boundary and interior arcs. These results continue earlier analysis by incorporating junctions of boundary arcs with singular arcs and bang arcs not considered in before. The problem of minimizing the base transit time in homojunction bipolar transistors is used to illustrate the results.
