Higher order conditions in nonlinear optimal control

The most widely used tool for the solution of optimal control problems is the Pontryagin Maximum Principle. But the Maximum Principle is, in general, only a necessary condition for optimality. It is therefore desirable to have supplementary conditions, for example second order sufficient conditions,...
