Query: A Remarkable Property of the Dynamic Optimization Extremals   At the core of optimal control theory is the Pontryagin maximum principle -
the celebrated first order necessary optimality condition - whose solutions are
called extremals and which are obtained through a function called Hamiltonian,
akin to the Lagrangian function used in ordinary calculus optimization
problems. A remarkable property of the extremals is that the total derivative
with respect to time of the corresponding Hamiltonian equals the partial
derivative of the Hamiltonian with respect to time. In particular, when the
Hamiltonian does not depend explicitly on time, the value of the Hamiltonian
evaluated along the extremals turns out to be constant (a property that
corresponds to energy conservation in classical mechanics). We present a
generalization of the above property. As applications of the new relation,
methods for obtaining conserved quantities along the Pontryagin extremals and
for characterizing problems possessing given constants of the motion are
obtained.
