Thus, the performance index takes the form<br />

where the variable F has been placed under the expectation operator to<br />

indicate that the ltaveraging' is to be conducted over this particular<br />

variable, the only r<strong>and</strong>om element appearing in the problem.<br />

To determine the solution to this problem, the Principle of Optimality<br />

can be employed essentially as it was in the deterministic case. Let<br />

R(x,t, denote the minimum value of the performance index for the system<br />

which starts in state X at time .! ; that is,<br />

Now, this expression can be rewritten as<br />

But, since the first term in the square bracket on the right of (2.5.14)<br />

does not depend onU(r,) or f(Tz)for ttAtl% 6 ii , Eq. (2.5.14) can be<br />

written in the form<br />
