Abstract :
This paper studies the problem of designing optimal search trajectories for a single search platform. The admissible trajectories are constrained by physical restrictions in terms of dynamical models. Necessary conditions for optimality are obtained in terms of Gateaux differentials; these conditions can be used in iterative algorithms to find stationary points of the minimization.
