Abstract
Given a Markov process x(k) defined over a finite interval I=[0,N], I⊂Z we construct a process x*(k) with the same initial density as x, but a different end-point density, which minimizes the relative entropy of x and x*. It is shown that x* is a Markov process in the same reciprocal class as x. In the Gaussian case, the minimum relative entropy problem is related to a minimum energy LQG optimal control problemFile in questo prodotto:
