Limit points the monotonic schemes for quantum control

Many numerical simulations in quantum (bilinear) control use the monotonically convergent algorithms of Krotov (introduced by Tannor in [12]), Zhu & Rabitz ([11]) or the general form of Maday & Turinici ([13]). This paper presents an analysis of the limit set of controls provided by these algorithms and a proof of convergence in a particular case.
