Abstract:
1. An optimization control system configured to determine an optimal behavior for a control subject, comprising at least one processor, the at least one processor comprising: a state estimating element configured to update a probability distribution p(x) of a state x according to a determination result of the state x of the control subject each time; a plan storing element configured to update a joint probability distribution p(u, x) of the state x and a behavior u according to the determination result of the state x of the control subject each time; and a behavior searching element configured to iterate a generation of multiple behavior candidates u.sub.i in accordance with a conditional probability distribution p(u|x), an evaluation of a goodness of fit f.sub.i in consideration of an evaluation function f(u|x) of each of the multiple behavior candidates, a selection of a behavior candidate in accordance with the evaluation result, and an update of the conditional probability distribution p(u|x) so as to approach a distribution characteristic of a selected behavior candidate to a shape characteristic of the evaluation function f(u|x) so as to obtain a current update result of the conditional probability distribution p(u|x) and to determine an optimal behavior u* as a behavior which the control subject should take in consideration of the goodness of fit, wherein the plan storing element is configured to obtain a current update result of the joint probability distribution p(u, x) on the basis of a current update result of the probability distribution p(x) and the current update result of the conditional probability distribution p(u|x) by the behavior searching element, and the behavior searching element is configured to determine the conditional probability distribution p(u|x) as a current basis for obtaining the current update result of the conditional probability distribution p(u|x) on the basis of the current update result of the probability distribution p(x) from the state estimating element and a previous update result of the joint probability distribution p(u, x) from the plan storing element.
