Hi, I am proficient in standard dynamic programming techniques.
In the standard textbook reference, the state variable and the control variable are separate entities.
However, I have seen examples in economics, in which a single variable, let's say consumption, is both a state variable and a control variable simultaneously.
This is very strange. Can the same variable be a control variable and state variable simultaneously? Is it allowed in bellman equation?
