A Penalty Function Proof of the Maximum Principle.
Abstract
In this paper we present a penalty function proof of the maximum principle for relaxed optimal controls which we feel is simpler than the standard proofs. The proof is also valid for ordinary controls that are solutions of the relaxed problem. We do not utilize the separation theorem for convex sets and the Brouwer fixed point theorem or its equivalent. (Author)
