Subriemannian geodesics of Carnot groups of step 3
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 19 (2013) no. 1, pp. 274-287.

In Carnot groups of step  ≤ 3, all subriemannian geodesics are proved to be normal. The proof is based on a reduction argument and the Goh condition for minimality of singular curves. The Goh condition is deduced from a reformulation and a calculus of the end-point mapping which boils down to the graded structures of Carnot groups.
