Study on geometric structures on Lie algebroids with optimal control applications

We construct ρ£-covariant derivatives in π*π as the generalization of covariant derivative in π*π to £πE. Moreover, we introduce Berwald and Yano derivatives as two important classes of ρ£-covariant derivatives in π*π and we study properties of them. Finally, we solve an optimal control problem using some geometric structures and Pontryagin Maximum Principle on Lie algebroids.
