Abstract
In this paper we study an optimal control problem that is affine in two-dimensional bounded control. The problem is related to the stabilization of an inverted spherical pendulum in the vicinity of the upper unstable equilibrium. We find solutions stabilizing the pendulum in a finite time, wherein the corresponding optimal controls perform an infinite number of rotations along the circle .
