Abstract:

The generalized Dido problem is stated as an optimal control problem in 5-dimensional space with 2-dimensional control and quadratic cost functional, which is a nilpotent sub-Riemannian problem with the growth vector (2, 3, 5). Extremals of this problem are parametrized by Jacobian elliptic functions.
