SWITCHING IN TIME-OPTIMAL PROBLEM WITH CONTROL IN A BALL
In this paper we analyze local regularity of time-optimal controls and trajectories for an n-dimensional affine control system with a control parameter, taking values in a k-dimensional closed ball. In the case of k = n - 1, we give sufficient conditions in terms of Lie bracket relations for all optimal controls to be smooth or to have only isolated jump discontinuities.
