Abstract :
An approximate method is presented for the synthesis of an optimal control of distributed parameter systems, based on a combination of the ideas of Lyapunov´s direct method and those of Bellman´s successive approximations in policy space. The method is such that the approximate equation is improved after each iteration in the sense of the performance index being used.
