The problem of existence of various types of optimum controls for controlling processes which are described by ordinary differential equation models is considered. The results presented enable one to test if there does exist an optimum control in the class of controls under consideration before proceeding to the construction of an optimal control.

A class of optimal control problems in viscous flow is studied. Main result is the existence theorem for optimal control. Three typical flow control problems are formulated within this general class.

We prove the existence of an optimal control in Banach spaces for a system characterized by Hammerstein operator equations.
