Abstract
It is shown that a symmetry in an optimization problem induces a decomposition of the optimal feedback control law into factors. One factor can be calculated algebraically and depends only on the symmetry; the other factor corresponds to a lower dimensional optimization problem. This gives a priori information about the structure of the optimal feedback control law and indicates a possibly more efficient method for optimizing such systems.
