Minimization of a degenerate integral quadratic functional on a finite
time interval along the trajectories of a linear system of differenti
al equations with delay in state coordinates is studied for constructi
ng an impulsive positional control. The impulsive moving states encoun
tered in a system with positional control are formalized. The optimal
result is shown to depend continuously on the perturbations of the rig
ht side of the system. The nondegenerate case of this problem is exami
ned in [1-3]. A degenerate linear-quadratic problem without delay is i
nvestigated in [4, 5].
