Abstract:

We consider a series of optimal control problems with 2-dimensional control lying in an arbitrary convex compact set Ω. The considered problems are well studied for the case when Ω is a unit disc, but barely studied for arbitrary Ω. We derive extremals to these problems in general case by using machinery of convex trigonometry, which allows us to do this identically and independently on the shape of Ω. The paper describes geodesics in (i) the Finsler problem on the Lobachevsky hyperbolic plane; (ii) left-invariant sub-Finsler problems on all unimodular 3D Lie groups (SU(2), SL(2), SE(2), SH(2)); (iii) the problem of rolling ball on a plane with distance function given by Ω; (iv) a series of “yacht problems” generalizing Euler’s elastic problem, Markov-Dubins problem, Reeds-Shepp problem and a new sub-Riemannian problem on SE(2); and (v) the plane dynamic motion problem.
