  • Abstract
    The one-dimensional system dx(t=bu(t)dt+(ct 2)1/2dW(t), where b (≠0) and c (⩾0) are real constants and W(t ) is a standard Brownian motion, is considered. The aim is to obtain the control u* that minimizes the expected value of a cost function with terminal cost equal to 0 or +∞ depending on whether the survival time in a given region is at least equal to or less than a fixed time
