Abstract :
This paper deals with the numerical approximation techniques of the piecewise deterministic systems´ control problem. We mainly extend the methods due respectively to Kushner, and Gonzales and Roffman and provides a comparison between these methods. A numerical example in the field of production systems is presented to illustrate the approaches.
