Abstract (EN)

We consider infinite-dimensional nonlinear programming problems which consist of minimizing a functionf 0(u) under a target set constraint. We obtain necessary conditions for minima that reduce to the Kuhn-Tucker conditions in the finite-dimensional case. Among other applications of these necessary conditions and related results, we derive Pontryagin’s maximum principle for a class of control systems described by semilinear equations in Hilbert space and study convergence properties of sequences of near-optimal controls for these systems.
