Abstract :
An optimal control program based on steepest descent techniques is developed for systems described by differential-difference equations. It is shown that the design of signals for pulse-position modulation over the incoherent Gaussian white noise channel leads to systems of the above type. Numerical results are given for a practical design problem.
