Control Theory
Dynamic programming is a method for solving complex problems by breaking them down into simpler subproblems and storing the results of these subproblems to avoid redundant computations. This approach is particularly useful in optimization problems, where one seeks to find the best solution among many possibilities. It connects to performance indices by providing a structured way to evaluate the outcomes of various strategies and relates to Pontryagin's minimum principle by serving as a systematic technique for finding optimal control policies.
