e achieved by a partially observable system.<br />

The analysis through which the optimal control action is determined<br />

consists of a rather straightforward application of Dynamic Programming,<br />

While it is not difficult to formulate the perfectly inobservable problem<br />

using other methods, there appears to be no way of treating the perfectly<br />

observable or partially observable case using the Variational Calculus.<br />

Hence, the stochastic <strong>optimization</strong> problem is one area where Dynamic<br />

Programming is not an alternate procedure, but frequently the only procedure<br />

available for conducting the analysis.<br />
