| contents | The paper is concerned with an optimal control problem on $\mathbb{R}^n$, where the dynamics is linear w.r.t.~the control functions. For a terminal cost $ψ$ in a $mathcal{G}_δ$ set of $\mathcal{C}^4(\mathbb{R}^n)$ (i.e., in a countable intersection of open dense subsets), two main results are proved.Namely: the set $Γ_ψ\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ of conjugate points is closed, with locally bounded $(n-2)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure. Moreover, the set of initial points $y\in \mathbb{R}^n\setminusΓ_ψ$, which admit two or more globally optimal trajectories, is contained in the union of a locally finite family of embedded manifolds. In particular, the value function is continuously differentiable on an open, dense subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$. |
