Conditions implying the vanishing of the Hamiltonian at the infinite horizon in optimal control problems

Author

Abstract

In an in_nite horizon optimal control problem, the Hamiltonian vanishes at the in_nite horizon, when the di_erential equation is autonomous. The integrand in the integral criterion may contain the time explicitly, but it has to satisfy certain integrability conditions. A generalization of Michels (1982) result is obtained.
