    Recent results on optimal curves (English)
    0 references
    The author analyses the recent results concerning the conditions under which a curve is a solution of a problem consisting in minimization of a real functional depending on a family of curves defined on \({\mathbb{R}^n}\). The evolution of the subject from variational calculus to optimal control theory is presented in an accessible form. There are compared different results obtained during the time and many interesting historical considerations are made. Some new results and simplified proofs of the known results are enclosed.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0967.00053].
