The paper is focused on the optimal control problem with boundary conditions. Unlike the traditional class of piecewise continuous functions, here the admissible controls are defined as continuously differentiable functions with inclusion or amplitude constraints. Admissible variations of control functions are formed using the idea of simultaneous varying. Numerical solution algorithm, obtained as a result, is proved to be convergent to the necessary condition of optimality.
