An example of non-existence of a cone approximation to the set of feasible states for an optimal control problem

Uldis Raitums

Abstract
The paper considers optimal control problems for linear elliptic systems with a standard set S of admissible controls σ. In the case where the principal part of the operator depends on controls, it is shown that the set Z(S) of all solutions u(σ) of the state equations with σ ∈ S cannot be approximated, in general, by cones, i.e. for a given with σ0S there is, in general, neither element h nor family {σε} ⊂ S such that uε) = u0) + εh + o(ε) as ε → 0.
