Dynamic programming and the computational solution of feedback design control problems.

Richard Ernest Bellman

ResearchPublished 1957

An attempt to indicate how a certain class of control processes can be reduced to problems involving sequences of functions of one variable in a number of cases, and sequences of functions of two variables in others. The results of this paper may serve as a guide to a systematic study of nonlinear control processes, with or without time-lags and other types of hereditary behavior, by way of the method of successive approximations.

This publication is part of the RAND paper series. The paper series was a product of RAND from 1948 to 2003 that captured speeches, memorials, and derivative research, usually prepared on authors' own time and meant to be the scholarly or scientific contribution of individual authors to their professional fields. Papers were less formal than reports and did not require rigorous peer review.
