The uncertainty threshold principle: Fundamental limitations of optimal decision making under dynamic uncertainty
暂无分享,去创建一个
This note shows that the optimal control of dynamic systems with uncertain parameters has certain limitations. In particular, by means of a simple scalar linear-quadratic optimal control example, it is shown that the infinite horizon solution does not exist if the parameter uncertainty exceeds a certain threshold; we call this the Uncertainty Thereshold Principle. The philosophical and design implications of this result are discussed.
