This research monograph deals with optimal periodic control
problems for systems governed by ordinary and functional
differential equations of retarded type. Particular attention is
given to the problem of local properness, i.e. whether system
performance can be improved by introducing periodic motions. Using
either Ekeland's Variational Principle or optimization theory in
Banach spaces, necessary optimality conditions are proved. In
particular, complete proofs of second-order conditions are included
and the result is used for various versions of the optimal periodic
control problem. Furthermore a scenario for local properness
(related to Hopf bifurcation) is drawn up, giving hints as to where
to look for optimal periodic solutions. The book provides
mathematically rigorous proofs for results which are potentially of
importance in chemical engineering and aerospace engineering.
