Equation (2.5.16) is essentially a mathematical statement of the<br />

Principle of Optimality for the problem at h<strong>and</strong>. It indicates that the<br />

minimum average value for the functional is achieved by an optimum first<br />

control decision followed by an optimal sequence of control decisions which<br />

are averaged over all possible states resulting from the first decision.<br />

Note that R( X+LIX, f+ Ad) has the, expansion<br />
