In the contest of optimal control problems, regularity results for optima are known when addressing fiber-strictly convex Lagrangian. For infinite time horizons, or for settings with infinite dimensional dynamics, the equivalence between minima/maxima and extremals could break down. Commonly, this is due to a loss of convexity/concavity of the cost functional or to a presence of state constraints, in which further controllability assumptions are needed. For many science applications, this a trend is not required, as in energy saving problems. In the present paper, we deal with the set of a functional's extremals subject to end-point restrictions. We consider an affine control system and a cost functional associated to an autonomous Lagrangian. The dynamics is smooth, satisfying the Lie bracket condition, and the functional is assumed merely Fréchet differentiable. Here we provide a regularity result for controls in the context of constrained extremization problems, under weaker conditions on Lagrangian than the not met classical ones. More precisely, we show a characterization for the Lipschitz regularity of controls associated with the extremal trajectories steering two fixed points, assuming the absence of singular controls. As main application, we construct a locally Lipschitz inversion mapping from the ambient space to the set of constrained extremals.
