Stochastic control or stochastic optimal control is a sub field of control theory that deals with the existence of uncertainty either in observations or in the noise that drives the evolution of the system. /D [54 0 R /XYZ 89.036 770.89 null] The goals of the course are to: achieve a deep understanding of the dynamic programming approach to optimal control; distinguish several classes of important optimal control problems and realize their solutions; The function ˆu (t,x;V ) is our candidate for the optimal control law, but since we do not know V this description is incomplete.
