ResearchPublished 1963
A review of basic supporting studies in mathematics. Three earlier papers on a particular problem of optimal control, wherein a constraint is placed on the state variable, are considered, in order to show that the three sets of results are actually equivalent in spite of their apparent differences. This resolution should interest both those concerned with practical applications and those concerned with the theory of optimal control processes.
