A class of convex optimal control problems involving linear hereditary systems with linear control constraints and nonlinear terminal constraints is considered. A result on the existence of an optimal control is proved and a necessary condition for optimality is given. An iterative algorithm is presented for solving the optimal control problem under consideration. The convergence property of the algorithm is also investigated. To test the algorithm, an example is solved.
