Mathematical tools for analysis of solutions of optim. control problem

In summary, the conversation discussed the search for mathematical tools to analyze and classify solutions of optimal control problems and variational equations. It mentioned that the equations of motion and optimized function depend on certain parameters and that the speaker was interested in finding the values of these parameters for which u2 equals 0 for the entire duration. They also mentioned using bifurcation theory or phase portrait from dynamical systems to address this issue, with a preference for Troutman as the source.

Hi, i’m looking for some mathematical tools for analysis or classification of solutions of optimal control problems/variational. Equations of motions and optimized function depend on some parameters eg.
dX1/dt = f(X1,X2, u1, p1)
dX2/dt = f(X1,X2, u2, p2)
where X1,X2 are state variables, u1,u2 are controls and p1,p2 are parameters. I would be interested in answer the question for what p1,p2 there is u2 = 0 for whole time. I’m looking for something like bifurcation theory/phase portrait from dynamical system which might be applied for optimal control problems.
