Dynamic programming (symbol)

I just started to read dynamic programming by Richard Bellman and at page 3, equation number 1, there's a symbol I am not familliar with, and I'm looking for it's meaning.



f(x) = MAX [g(y) + h(x dash y) + f(ay + b(x dash y))]



I think it's not minus because the dash is so long.



Thank you,
