A proof of a distributed parameter maximum principle is given by using dynamic programming. An example problem involving a nonhomogeneous boundary condition is also treated by using the dynamic programming technique and by extending the definition of the differential operator. It is thus demonstrated that for linear systems the dynamic programming approach is just as powerful as the variational approach originally used to derive the maximum principle.

Suppose that the state variables x = (x1,…,xn)′ where the dot refers to derivatives with respect to time t, and u ∊ U is a vector of controls. The object is to transfer x to x1 by choosing the controls so that the functional takes on its minimum value J(x) called the Bellman function (although we shall define it in a different way). The Dynamic Programming Principle leads to the maximisation with respect to u of and equality is obtained upon maximisation.
