Certain optimization problems involving inequality constraints, known as optimal control problems have been extensively studied during recent years especially in relation to the calculation of optimal rocket thrusts and trajectories. A summary of these works is given by Berkovitz [1] who also establishes necessary conditions for the existence of solutions for a wide class of such problems.
