%0 Journal Article %T On Global Minimization for the Value Function in Affine Optimal Control Problems %A Jinghao Zhu %J Open Access Library Journal %V 10 %N 7 %P 1-16 %@ 2333-9721 %D 2023 %I Open Access Library %R 10.4236/oalib.1110408 %X In this paper we provide a computational approach to a minimization problem for the value function associated with an affine optimal control problem subject to terminal-constraint with quadratic cost plus a potential, for a fixed final time and initial point. We study the global minimization problem of the value function over the attainable set and the regularity properties of the value function at a global minimizer point. On the other hand, in the global minimization of the value function, by an example in this computational approach, we also focus on a numerical method by Riccati matrix differential equations. %K Global Minimization %K Value Function %K Affine Optimal Control %K Regularity %K Extremal Flow %K Riccati Differential Equation %U http://www.oalib.com/paper/6798945
