Dynamic Programming and Feedback Control
ResearchPublished 1959
An application of the functional equation approach of dynamic programming to deterministic, stochastic, and adaptive control processes. The paper assumes that feedback control processes are multistage decision processes and that problems in the calculus of variations are continuous decision problems. Emphasis is on the development of methods well suited for high-speed digital computation.
