Analysis of the Optimal Relaxed Control to an Optimal Control Problem

Relaxed controls are widely used to analyze the existence of optimal controls in the literature. Though there are many optimal control problems admitting no optimal control, rare examples were shown. This paper will solve a particular optimal control problem by analyzing the optimal relaxed controls, showing the ideas we used to study such kind of problems.
