Singularities of optimal time control-affine systems: the limit case
We study the singularities for minimum time control-affine problems in 4D with 2D controls. After regularization, the problem boils down to the study of a bifurcation around some nilpotent equilibrium in the singular locus. We show that the extremal flow - thus, the exponential map - is smooth on a stratification, and therefore piece-wise smooth.
