Abstract

This paper gives a self-contained presentation of minimax control for discrete-time time-varying stochastic systems under finite- and infinite-horizon expected total cost performance criteria. Suitable conditions for the existence of minimax strategies are proposed. Also, we prove that the values of the finite-horizon problem converge to the values of the infinite-horizon problems. Moreover, for finite-horizon problems an algorithm of calculation of minimax strategies is developed and tested by using time-varying stochastic systems.
