Abstract

A risk-sensitive certainty equivalence principle is deduced, expressed in Theorem 1, for a model with linear dynamics and observation rules, Gaussian noise and an exponential-quadratic criterion of the form (2). The senses in which one is now to understand certainty equivalence and the separation principle are discussed.
