Abstract

The ‘homing' optimal control problem, described in Whittle and Gait (1970), is given a risk-sensitive formulation. It is shown that the reduction of an optimally controlled homing problem to the treatment of an uncontrolled process, demonstrated by Whittle and Gait, can be achieved in the risk-sensitive case. Two scalar problems are analyzed in detail.
