It is suggested that in stochastic control problems where there is uncertainty about the current state the correct estimate of the state to be used for generating certainty equivalent controls is not always the mean value of the probability distribution for the state.

β¦ Synopsis
The certainty-equivalence property, known to hold that under certain assumptions for the linear-quadratic stochastic control problem, is extended to more complex situations, when the system noise variables are related to a complicated (nonlinear) system, whose state can be partially observed, where

## Abstract For decades, stochastic modellers have used computerized random number generators to produce random numeric sequences fitting a specified statistical distribution. Unfortunately, none of the random number generators we tested satisfactorily produced the target distribution. The result i
We consider the classic Bellman and Zadeh multistage control problem under fuzzy constraints imposed on applied controls and fuzzy goals imposed on attained states with a stochastic system under control that is assumed to be a Markov chain. An optimal sequence of controls is sought that maximizes th
