Abstract :
We investigate existence and structure of solutions to quadratic control problems with semi-explicit differential algebraic constraints. By means of an equivalent index-1 formulation we identify conditions for the unique existence of optimal solutions. Knowing of the existence of an optimal input, we provide a representation of the associated feedback-law via a Riccati-like decoupling that is formulated for the original index-2 equations.
