In addition to these four conditions, a fifth necessary condition,<br />

the classical Jacobi condition, can also be developed by means of Dynamic<br />

Programming. Since this condition is rather difficult to apply <strong>and</strong> fre-<br />

quently does not hold in optimal control problems, it will not be developed<br />

here. The interested reader should consult Reference (2.4.1), page 103.<br />

2.4-5 Lagrange Problem with Variable End Points<br />

In the preceeding sections the problem of minimizing the integral<br />

was considered where the limits of integration,(&,,$) <strong>and</strong> (x4,f6) were fi,zd.<br />

In this section a minor variation on this problem will be considered in<br />

which the upper limit of integration is not fixed precisely, but is required<br />

to lie in the curve<br />
