Necessary second-order optimality conditions are obtained for one class of optimal control problems for step systems. Keywords: step control problem, quasisingular control, necessary optimality condition, Pontryagin’s maximum principle.

In modeling many real processes, the need arises to study step control problems. For example, necessary first-order optimality conditions, such as Pontryagin’s maximum principle, are obtained in [1–11] for various optimal control problems for step systems described by ordinary differential and difference equations. We obtain here necessary optimality conditions for quasisingular [12] controls in one class of optimal control problems for multistage processes. Note that the control parameters appear also in the initial conditions [5]. 1. PROBLEM STATEMENT Let a controlled process be described by the system of nonlinear differential equations x& i = f i ( t , x i , u i , ), t Î[ t i - 1 , t i ] = Ti , i = 1, 3 ,

where U i and Vi are given nonempty, bounded, and convex sets. We will call the set ( u1 ( t ), u 2 ( t ), u 3 ( t ), u1 , u 2 , u 3 ) º ( u( t ), u ) satisfying the above-mentioned conditions the admissible control, and the corresponding absolutely continuous solution ( x1 ( t ), x 2 ( t ), x 3 ( t )) º x( t ) of the system (1), (2) the admissible trajectory.
