Abstract
The article describes a family of explicitly solvable optimal control problems involving nonholonomic systems. It appears that the optimal trajectories for these problems need only be piecewise smooth with the smooth arcs being given in terms of a product of matrix exponentials. The solvability of matrix equations of the form eΩeH-Ω=X plays a key role
