To reduce (2.4.109) to a partial differential equation, one must assume<br />

that all second derivatives of R with respect to t <strong>and</strong> x are bounded; that<br />

is,<br />

Under this assumption,R(z!+df,t(~ tAf))has the series expansion<br />

where T denotes transpose<br />

dx<br />

dt<br />

Substituting (2.4.111) into (2.4.109) along with the values for k from<br />

(2.4.108), provides<br />

In the limit asdt + 0 this expression becomes<br />

(2.4.110)<br />

(2.4.113)<br />

which is a first-order, partial differential equation <strong>and</strong> will be referred to<br />

as the Bellman equation for the Problem of Rolza. The boundary condition<br />

which R(t, x(t)) must satisfy, will be considered next.<br />
