The minimisation problem for a functional P bar right arrow u(Gamma,P,(g) over tilde) is considered, where (g) over tilde is an R-n-valued stochastic process, defined on some filtered probability space Gamma = (Gamma(G(t))(t is an element of[0,1]), P), and P is an admissible probability measure in the sense that it obeys (1) some uniform equivalence condition with respect to the given measure P on Gamma, and (2) a finite number (possibly zero) of arbitrarily given other conditions that require the expectation (with respect to P) of some continuous bounded function phi of ((g) over tilde (t1),..., (g) over tilde (tk)), for t(1),..., t(k) is an element of [0,1], to lie within some closed set. We assume that u can be formulated through finite compositions of conditional expectations and bounded continuous functions. Under the assumption of vertical bar phi vertical bar being uniformly bounded from below and some condition on the dimension of phi ((g) over tilde (t1),..., (g) over tilde (tk)) the existence of a solution on hyperfinite adapted probability spaces, as well as its minimality among admissible measures on any other adapted probability space, is proven. Also, a coarseness result for the Loeb operation is established. The main result of this paper, however, is a "standard result": It does not include any reference to nonstandard analysis and can be perfectly understood without any familiarity with nonstandard analysis.
