Some Types of Optimal Control of Stochastic Systems.
ResearchPublished 1963
ResearchPublished 1963
One of the basic supporting studies in mathematics concerned with optimization processes. This one deals with optimal control of dynamic systems involving random variables. Optimal control rules are developed and evaluated, and the superiority of feedback over open-loop control is demonstrated. These rules are important in determining rocket trajectories and in correcting deviations in flight. 34 pp
