Claim One:
1. A method for controlling and/or regulating a technical system in a computer-assisted manner, in which dynamic behavior of the technical system is respectively characterized for a plurality of times by a state of the technical system and an action carried out on the technical system in the state, a respective action at a respective time resulting in a new state of the technical system at a next time, and an action sequence being one or more actions to be successively carried out on the technical system in a temporal sequence, a measure of quality with respect to an optimization criterion for operating the technical system being able to be calculated for each action sequence based on the states of the technical system resulting from carrying out the one or more actions in the action sequence, the measure of quality being higher, the better the optimization criterion is satisfied, the method comprising: providing a simulation model of the technical system for predicting the resulting states of the technical system for respective action sequences; determining an action sequence having a highest possible measure of quality at a respective predefined time from a sequence of successive predefined times using a numerical optimization method, the numerical optimization method using the simulation model to predict the resulting states for action sequences generated during the numerical optimization method and to then determine the measure of quality of the generated action sequences using the predicted states; and carrying out one or more actions in the determined action sequence on the technical system.
