OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEMS FOR SOME CLASSES OF FUNCTIONAL-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS ON THE SEMI-AXIS.

In this paper we study functional-differential equations on the semi-axis, which are non-linear with respect to the phase variables and linear with respect to the control. Sufficient conditions for existence of optimal control in terms of the right-hand side and the quality criterion are obtained. Relation between the solutions of the problems on infinite and finite intervals is studied and results that about these connections are proven. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
