Synopsis

The 16th Semester at the Stefan Banach International Mathematical Center (September - December 1980) was devoted to Mathematical Theory of Optimal Control. Participants of the Semester presented lectures devoted to optimization and control of deterministic and stochastic systems. In particular, the following topics related to deterministic systems were discussed: duality theorems, non-smooth problems, programming, optimality conditions, maximum principle as well as algebraic and geometric methods in control theory, properties of differential inclusions, delay and distributed systems, differential games. Lectures devoted to stochastic control covered problems like control of Markov and semi-Markov processes, optimal stopping, impulse control, Bellman equation, martingale methods in stochastic control, stability and stabilization of stochastic systems. The present 16th volume of the Banach Center Publication contains papers delivered during the Semester or stimulated by the informal discussions, lectures, seminars and the atmosphere of the Banach Center. The volume reflects, at least partially, the unique atmosphere of the Semester and the value of contacts and friendships made during the Semester between mathematicians of different countries.
