Relationships between the optimal values of the original and the dual problems are investigated and two duality theorems are proved. The dual problem serves to provide upper bounds for the optimal and maximum value of the original one or even to give the optimal value.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-04-30T08:25:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "optimal stochastic control", "partial differential equations", "upper bounds", "optimal value", "dual control problem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
