  • Abstract
    The problem of simultaneously determining an optimal control strategy and an optimal observation strategy for a linear system is considered. Quadratic costs on state and control and an "on-off" type observation cost are assumed. Dynamic programming is used to obtain a solution. An example is provided that shows some interesting relations between the optimal observation strategy and various system parameters.
