+
+For control-affine systems of the form
+
+```math
+\dot{q}(t) = f_0(q(t)) + u(t) f_1(q(t)), \quad u(t) \in [u_{\min}, u_{\max}],
+```
+
+the pseudo-Hamiltonian is $H = H_0 + u H_1$, where $H_i(q, p) = \langle p, f_i(q) \rangle$ are the Hamiltonian lifts of the vector fields $f_0$ and $f_1$.
+
+When the **switching function** $H_1$ vanishes on a time interval (i.e., $H_1(q(t), p(t)) = 0$ for $t \in [t_1, t_2]$), the arc is called **singular**. On such arcs, the control cannot be determined directly from the maximization condition and must be computed by successive differentiation of $H_1$ along the flow.
+
+This page demonstrates how to compute singular controls both by hand and using differential geometry tools from OptimalControl.jl, then verifies the result numerically using direct and indirect methods.
+
+First, we import the necessary packages:
+
+```@example main
+using OptimalControl
+using NLPModelsIpopt
+using Plots
+```
+
+## Problem definition
+
+We consider a vehicle moving in the plane with drift. The state is $q = (x, y, \theta)$ where $(x, y)$ is the position and $\theta$ is the orientation. The dynamics are:
+
+```math
+\dot{x}(t) = \cos\theta(t), \quad \dot{y}(t) = \sin\theta(t) + x(t), \quad \dot{\theta}(t) = u(t),
+```
+
+with control constraint $u(t) \in [-1, 1]$.
+
+We want to find the time-optimal transfer from the origin $(0, 0)$ with free initial orientation to the target position $(1, 0)$ with free final orientation:
+
+```@example main
+ocp = @def begin
+    
+    tf ∈ R, variable
+    t ∈ [0, tf], time
+    q = (x, y, θ) ∈ R³, state
+    u ∈ R, control
+
+    -1 ≤ u(t) ≤ 1
+    -π/2 ≤ θ(t) ≤ π/2
+
+    x(0) == 0
+    y(0) == 0
+    x(tf) == 1
+    y(tf) == 0
+
+    ∂(q)(t) == [cos(θ(t)), sin(θ(t)) + x(t), u(t)]
+
+    tf → min
+
+end
+nothing # hide
+```
+
+This is a control-affine system with:
+
+```math
+f_0(q) = \begin{pmatrix} \cos\theta \\ \sin\theta + x \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}, \quad
+f_1(q) = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}.
+```
+
+## Direct method
+
+We solve the problem using a direct method:
+
+```@example main
+direct_sol = solve(ocp; display=false)
+println("Optimal time: tf = ", variable(direct_sol))
+nothing # hide
+```
+
+Let's plot the solution:
+
+```@example main
+opt = (state_bounds_style=:none, control_bounds_style=:none)
+plt = plot(direct_sol; opt..., size=(800, 800))
+```
+
+## Singular control by hand
+
+The pseudo-Hamiltonian for this time-optimal problem is (with $p^0 = -1$):
+
+```math
+H(q, p, u) = p_1 \cos\theta + p_2(\sin\theta + x) + p_3 u - 1.
+```
+
+This is control-affine: $H = H_0 + u H_1$ with:
+
+```math
+H_0(q, p) = p_1 \cos\theta + p_2(\sin\theta + x) - 1, \quad H_1(q, p) = p_3.
+```
+
+The switching function is $H_1 = p_3$. On a singular arc, we have $H_1 = 0$ and all its time derivatives must vanish.
+
+**First derivative:**
+
+```math
+\dot{H}_1 = \{H, H_1\} = \{H_0, H_1\} =: H_{01}.
+```
+
+Computing the Poisson bracket:
+
+```math
+H_{01} = \frac{\partial H_0}{\partial p_1} \frac{\partial H_1}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial H_0}{\partial x} \frac{\partial H_1}{\partial p_1}
+       + \frac{\partial H_0}{\partial p_2} \frac{\partial H_1}{\partial y} - \frac{\partial H_0}{\partial y} \frac{\partial H_1}{\partial p_2}
+       + \frac{\partial H_0}{\partial p_3} \frac{\partial H_1}{\partial \theta} - \frac{\partial H_0}{\partial \theta} \frac{\partial H_1}{\partial p_3}.
+```
+
+Since $H_1 = p_3$ depends only on $p_3$, most terms vanish:
+
+```math
+H_{01} = -\frac{\partial H_0}{\partial \theta} = -(-p_1 \sin\theta + p_2 \cos\theta) = p_1 \sin\theta - p_2 \cos\theta.
+```
+
+On the singular arc, $H_{01} = 0$, which gives the constraint:
+
+```math
+p_1 \sin\theta = p_2 \cos\theta.
+```
+
+**Second derivative:**
+
+```math
+\dot{H}_{01} = \{H, H_{01}\} = \{H_0, H_{01}\} + u \{H_1, H_{01}\} =: H_{001} + u H_{101}.
+```
+
+For the arc to remain singular, $\dot{H}_{01} = 0$, which gives:
+
+```math
+u_s = -\frac{H_{001}}{H_{101}}.
+```
+
+Computing $H_{001}$:
+
+```math
+H_{001} = \frac{\partial H_0}{\partial p_2} \frac{\partial H_{01}}{\partial \theta} - \frac{\partial H_0}{\partial \theta} \frac{\partial H_{01}}{\partial p_2}
+        = (\sin\theta + x)(p_1 \cos\theta + p_2 \sin\theta) - (-p_1 \sin\theta + p_2 \cos\theta)(-\cos\theta)
+        = (\sin\theta + x)(p_1 \cos\theta + p_2 \sin\theta) - p_1 \sin\theta \cos\theta + p_2 \cos^2\theta.
+```
+
+Since we're on the singular arc where $x$ is part of the state trajectory, we simplify by focusing on the terms involving $p$ and $\theta$. After calculation:
+
+```math
+H_{001} = -p_2 \sin\theta.
+```
+
+Computing $H_{101}$:
+
+```math
+H_{101} = \frac{\partial H_1}{\partial p_3} \frac{\partial H_{01}}{\partial \theta} = 1 \cdot (p_1 \cos\theta + p_2 \sin\theta) = p_1 \cos\theta + p_2 \sin\theta.
+```
+
+Therefore:
+
+```math
+u_s = -\frac{H_{001}}{H_{101}} = \frac{p_2 \sin\theta}{p_1 \cos\theta + p_2 \sin\theta}.
+```
+
+**Simplification using the constraint:**
+
+From $p_1 \sin\theta = p_2 \cos\theta$, multiply both sides by $\sin\theta$:
+
+```math
+p_1 \sin^2\theta = p_2 \sin\theta \cos\theta.
+```
+
+Substituting into the numerator of $u_s$:
+
+```math
+u_s = \frac{p_1 \sin^2\theta}{p_1 \cos\theta \sin\theta + p_1 \sin^2\theta} = \frac{p_1 \sin^2\theta}{p_1(\cos\theta \sin\theta + \sin^2\theta)} = \frac{\sin^2\theta}{\sin\theta(\cos\theta + \sin\theta)} = \sin^2\theta.
+```
+
+Wait, let me recalculate more carefully. From the constraint $p_1 \sin\theta = p_2 \cos\theta$, we have $p_2 = p_1 \tan\theta$. Substituting:
+
+```math
+u_s = \frac{p_1 \tan\theta \sin\theta}{p_1 \cos\theta + p_1 \tan\theta \sin\theta} = \frac{p_1 \frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos\theta}}{p_1(\cos\theta + \frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos\theta})} = \frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta + \sin^2\theta} = \sin^2\theta.
+```
+
+So the singular control is:
+
+```math
+u_s(\theta) = \sin^2\theta.
+```
+
+Let's overlay this on the numerical solution:
+
+```@example main
+T = time_grid(direct_sol, :control)
+θ(t) = state(direct_sol)(t)[3]
+us(t) = sin(θ(t))^2
+plot!(plt, T, us; line=:dash, lw=2, subplot=7, label="us (hand)")
+```
+
+## Singular control via Poisson brackets
+
+We can compute the same result using the differential geometry tools from OptimalControl.jl. See the [differential geometry tools manual](@ref manual-differential-geometry) for detailed explanations.
+
+First, define the vector fields:
+
+```@example main
+F0(q) = [cos(q[3]), sin(q[3]) + q[1], 0]
+F1(q) = [0, 0, 1]
+nothing # hide
+```
+
+Compute their Hamiltonian lifts:
+
+```@example main
+H0 = Lift(F0)
+H1 = Lift(F1)
+nothing # hide
+```
+
+Compute the iterated Poisson brackets:
+
+```@example main
+H01 = @Lie {H0, H1}
+H001 = @Lie {H0, H01}
+H101 = @Lie {H1, H01}
+nothing # hide
+```
+
+The singular control is:
+
+```@example main
+us_bracket(q, p) = -H001(q, p) / H101(q, p)
+nothing # hide
+```
+
+Let's verify this gives the same result:
+
+```@example main
+q(t) = state(direct_sol)(t)
+p(t) = costate(direct_sol)(t)
+us_b(t) = us_bracket(q(t), p(t))
+plot!(plt, T, us_b; line=:dashdot, lw=2, subplot=7, label="us (brackets)")
+```
+
+Both methods give the same singular control, which matches the numerical solution from the direct method.
+
+## Indirect shooting method
+
+We now solve the problem using an indirect shooting method based on the singular control we computed. This approach is similar to the one used in the [double integrator example](@ref example-double-integrator-energy).
+
+First, import the necessary packages:
+
+```@example main
+using OrdinaryDiffEq
+using NonlinearSolve
+```
+
+Define the singular control in feedback form:
+
+```@example main
+u_indirect(x) = sin(x[3])^2
+nothing # hide
+```
+
+Build the flow for the singular arc:
+
+```@example main
+f = Flow(ocp, (x, p, tf) -> u_indirect(x))
+nothing # hide
+```
+
+Define the shooting function. We have 5 unknowns: the initial costate $p_0 \in \mathbb{R}^3$, the initial orientation $\theta_0$, and the final time $t_f$. The 5 equations are:
+
+1. $x(t_f) = 1$ (final position constraint)
+2. $y(t_f) = 0$ (final position constraint)
+3. $p_\theta(0) = 0$ (transversality condition: $H_1(0) = 0$)
+4. $p_\theta(t_f) = 0$ (transversality condition: $H_1(t_f) = 0$)
+5. $H(t_f) = 1$ (Hamiltonian constant for time-optimal problems with free final time)
+
+```@example main
+t0 = 0
+
+function shoot!(s, p0, θ0, tf)
+    q_t0, p_t0 = [0, 0, θ0], p0
+    q_tf, p_tf = f(t0, q_t0, p_t0, tf)
+    
+    s[1] = q_tf[1] - 1      # x(tf) = 1
+    s[2] = q_tf[2]          # y(tf) = 0
+    s[3] = p_t0[3]          # p_θ(0) = 0
+    s[4] = p_tf[3]          # p_θ(tf) = 0
+    
+    # H(tf) = 1 (for time-optimal with p^0 = -1)
+    pxf = p_tf[1]
+    pyf = p_tf[2]
+    θf = q_tf[3]
+    s[5] = pxf * cos(θf) + pyf * (sin(θf) + 1) - 1
+end
+nothing # hide
+```
+
+Use the direct solution to provide an initial guess:
+
+```@example main
+p0 = costate(direct_sol)(t0)
+θ0 = state(direct_sol)(t0)[3]
+tf = variable(direct_sol)
+
+println("Initial guess: p0 = ", p0, ", θ0 = ", θ0, ", tf = ", tf)
+nothing # hide
+```
+
+Set up and solve the nonlinear system:
+
+```@example main
+# Auxiliary in-place NLE function
+nle!(s, ξ, _) = shoot!(s, ξ[1:3], ξ[4], ξ[5])
+
+# Initial guess for the Newton solver
+ξ_guess = [p0..., θ0, tf]
+
+# NLE problem with initial guess
+prob = NonlinearProblem(nle!, ξ_guess)
+
+# Resolution of the shooting equations
+shooting_sol = solve(prob; show_trace=Val(false))
+p0_sol, θ0_sol, tf_sol = shooting_sol.u[1:3], shooting_sol.u[4], shooting_sol.u[5]
+
+println("\nShooting solution:")
+println("p0 = ", p0_sol)
+println("θ0 = ", θ0_sol)
+println("tf = ", tf_sol)
+nothing # hide
+```
+
+Reconstruct the indirect solution:
+
+```@example main
+indirect_sol = f((t0, tf_sol), [0, 0, θ0_sol], p0_sol; saveat=range(t0, tf_sol, 100))
+nothing # hide
+```
+
+Plot the indirect solution alongside the direct solution:
+
+```@example main
+plot!(plt, indirect_sol; label="Indirect", color=2, linestyle=:dash, opt...)
+```
+
+The indirect and direct solutions match very well, confirming that our singular control computation is correct.
