This study introduces a novel framework for intelligent decision-making in dynamic systems, using differential equations to manage uncertainty and guide sequential actions based on environmental factors. It analyzes strategies for navigating unpredictable conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Dynamical Systems Theory
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Intelligent decision-making is crucial for autonomous systems operating in dynamic environments.
  • Existing models often struggle with real-time adaptation to changing internal and external conditions.
  • Sequential activity requires managing uncertainty and selecting optimal action pathways.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a new paradigm for intelligent decision-making in dynamical sequential activities.
  • To develop a class of dynamical models capable of handling uncertainty in decision points.
  • To analyze adaptive strategies for autonomous agents in erratic environments.

Main Methods:

  • Introduction of a new class of dynamical models described by ordinary differential equations.
