Description: This paper is a sequel to an article concerning a canonical control problem involving state constraints in which the control enters in the second derivative of the constraint. Extensions of the results obtained there are developed herein for a general form of the control problem of Bolza with the above type of constraints. It is also shown that modified forms hold true for the relation H dot = H sub t and for the transversality relation usually obtained in problems of this type. (Author)
