We approach higher-order variational problems of Herglotz type from an optimal control point of view. Using optimal control theory, we derive a generalized Euler--Lagrange equation, transversality conditions, DuBois--Reymond necessary optimality condition and Noether's theorem for Herglotz's type higher-order variational problems, valid for piecewise smooth functions.
Keywords: invariance, Euler-Lagrange equations, Noether's theorem., optimal control, DuBois-Reymond condition, Herglotz's problems, higher-order calculus of variations.
