Bellman equation
Introduction
The Bellman equation is an optimality condition used in dynamic programming and named for Richard Bellman, whose principle of optimality is needed to derive it.[1] By breaking up a larger dynamic programming problem into a sequence of subproblems, a Bellman equation can simplify and solve any multi-stage dynamic optimization problem.
