There are three families of fundamental problems in optimal control:

minimum-time control, encountered for example in safety or manufacturing problems. The criterion used is then written as : $J = \int_{t_{0}}^{t_{f}} d t$
minimum consumption control, where the criterion corresponds to the integral of a flow rate: $J =$
