On the Strong Subregularity of the Optimality Mapping in an Optimal Control Problem with Pointwise Inequality Control Constraints

This paper presents sufficient conditions for strong metric subregularity (SMsR) of the optimality mapping associated with the local Pontryagin maximum principle for Mayer-type optimal control problems with pointwise control constraints given by a finite number of inequalities [Formula: see text] . It is assumed that all data are twice smooth, and that at each feasible point the gradients [Formula: see text] of the active constraints are linearly independent. The main result is that the second-order sufficient optimality condition for a weak local minimum is also sufficient for a version of the SMSR property, which involves two norms in the control space in order to deal with the so-called two-norm-discrepancy.
