Computational Considerations for Some Deterministic and Adaptive Control Processes.
ResearchPublished 1961
A discussion of design and utilization considerations in the fields of guidance and control which lead to problems in the calculus of variations and dynamic programming. The resulting equations are frequently so complex that modern digital computers must be used in their resolution. It is shown that the quasilinearization method discussed in P-1163 can be used effectively to deal with some nonlinear Euler equations and their associated boundary values. It is also shown that the concepts of dynamic processes such as occur in sequential detection schemes in radar and communication.

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.
