The controls are subject to a cost functional which promotes sparsity in time. The focus is put on deriving first order optimality conditions. This is achieved without relying on a well-defined control-to-state mapping in a neighborhood of minimizers. The technique of proof is based on the approximation of the original problem by a family of finite horizon problems. The optimality conditions allow deduction of sparsity properties of the optimal controls in time.}, organization = {The first author was supported by MCIN/ AEI/10.13039/501100011033/ under research project PID2020-114837GB-I00.
