# A note on optimality conditions for optimal exit time problems

• In this note, we obtain some optimality conditions for optimal control problems with exit time similar to those obtained in [Cannarsa, Pignotti and Sinestrari, Discrete Contin. Dynam. Systems 6 (2000), 975 - 997] without requiring an assumption on the Hamiltonian.
