As the mappings involved may not be Gâteaux differentiable, we use a regularization technique to regularize these nonlinear terms, aiming to obtain Gâteaux differentiable mappings. By employing this regularization technique, we are able to derive the first-order optimality condition for the regularized control problem by using the associated adjoint system. Furthermore, we conduct a limit analysis on the regularized term resulting in an optimality system for the non-smooth problem of C-stationary type.
