Emergence of a Dominant Course of Action in a General Feedback Loop When Goal Uncertainty is Present.
Alo, Richard A.; And Others
Journal of the American Society for Information Science, v38 n2 p111-17 Mar 1987
Presents a mathematical model of a decision maker subject to goal uncertainty which shows that a dominant course of action will always emerge. The theory of multivalued functions is used to express goal uncertainty, and a specific example is described to provide insight into how the procedure works in practice. (Author/EM)
