On an application of dynamic programming to the synthesis of logical systems.
ResearchPublished 1958
An application of dynamic programming to problems arising in the synthesis of logical systems. In a number of fields a system in one state must be optimally converted into another state (e.g., in mathematical economics, in the theory of control processes, in network theory, and in trajectory processes). The present study considers a type of question occurring in the design of computers and switching circuits. The problem is treated in general terms, and a special example is given to illustrate the methods.

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.
