In this paper we examine convex optimal control problems with linear dynamics. Time-delays appear in the convex cost and in the linear dynamics. We consider problems where a delay parameter appears in the dynamics and another delay parameter appears in the cost function. We produce a Fenchel duality

โฆ Synopsis
In this paper we study infinite horizon convex problems of Lagrange in which hereditary effects in the state are present. The objective functional in these w . problems is an improper integral defined over the time interval 0,q ฯฑ . Dictated by applications arising in mathematical economics we do not assume a priori that these improper integrals converge and therefore we consider overtaking optimal solutions. This concept arose in the economics literature in the 1960s. We extend known results for the analogous nondelay problem providing sufficient conditions for the existence of an overtaking optimal solution. Our proof rests on the assumption that a particular delay differential inclusion enjoys a strong asymptotic ลฝ ลฝ . . stability property called property S S . Examples are given to indicate the applicability of these results.

This paper considers a class of systems modeled by ordinary differential equations which contain a delay in both the state and control variables. A sufficient condition for the optimal control of such systems is presented. The condition is a modification of a sufficient condition for optimal control
