โฆ Synopsis
The optimal control law is presented for a discrete-time, single-input, extremal control system where the extremal position is a stochastic variable and measurement noise and dynamic lags are neglected. The law is derived by the method of dynamic programming, and it gives an indication of the genelal structure of optimal extremal control laws. A suboptimal law having the same structure is shown to give performance close to optimal for the system considered; it is conjectured that the suboptimal law may be valuable for other, less simplified, extremal control problems.

Three mode control with Ziegler-Nichols or Cohen-Coon controller settings is shown to be the solution to an optimal control problem for a linear first order system with dead time and a quadratic cost functional. The implication of this result is that in the absence of an economically meamngful cost
A new way is presented to calculate extreme exceedance probabilities associated with the height of local maxima on stationary sample paths of a non-linear oscillator driven by narrow-band Gaussian excitation. Deterministic ''least effort'' optimal control functions are used to construct a linear fil
