Dynamic Programming and Adaptive Processes — I
Mathematical Foundation
ResearchPublished 1959
A basis for the mathematical treatment of adaptive processes (a class of decision processes) through use of dynamic programming concepts. These processes arise in statistical studies, in the field of operations research, in stochastic control processes, and in problems of communication theory. Independently, theories governing the treatment of adaptive processes are essential for developing automata and machines that learn. Subsequent papers will consider specific applications.

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.
