Now the first equation seems to be ##\dot{\lambda}=-H_{x}##, but they seem to forget to divide by two ##(3x^2+u^2)##, and the second equation, I am not sure how did they derive the second equation of ##u=-\lambda##? anyone here knows how?
thanks!

There are two optimality conditions and one of them is a necessary condition for the optimal control input $$ \frac{\partial H}{\partial u}=0 $$.

Yeah, I know that. Forgot to reply that I found my answer... I hope to get a good grade in this course.
I tell you the exam was an open book; and I got so absent minded as to how to answer a few questions.
It's a pitty because the exam was really easy. (I had three exams this week in a row... phou :oldeek: ).
