  • Abstract
    Satisfaction of the generalized Legendre-Clebsch condition is known to be a necessary condition of optimality in singular control problems. Recently, a new additional necessary condition of optimality was discovered. In this note, we demonstrate by means of an example that together these two necessary conditions are, in general, insufficient for optimality in singular control problems.
