Abstract

„Control synthesis under uncertainties“ was the main issue in Kurzhanski’s lecture, it will be discussed in the forthcoming lecture, too. Following Kurzhanski the notion of “value function” is introduced and its relation to solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi differential equations is stressed. Classical solutions, however, are viewed upon under a different angle. This makes it possible to bring the essence of Kurzhanski’s lecture closer to concrete problems in control engineering.
