Abstract:

The usual nonstochastic stopping control problem is extended to include the case of random terminal time. Systems which are otherwise deterministic, and systems with additive noise in the dynamic equation are considered. Results concerning the relevant aspects of reliability and Markov process theories are presented. Author
