Markov decision processes: discrete stochastic dynamic programming Martin L. Puterman
Publisher: Wiley-Interscience

We establish the structural properties of the stochastic dynamic programming operator and we deduce that the optimal policy is of threshold type. Puterman Publisher: Wiley-Interscience. Models are developed in discrete time as For these models, however, it seeks to be as comprehensive as possible, although finite horizon models in discrete time are not developed, since they are largely described in existing literature. This book presents a unified theory of dynamic programming and Markov decision processes and its application to a major field of operations research and operations management: inventory control. A customer who is not served before this limit We use a Markov decision process with infinite horizon and discounted cost. We base our model on the distinction between the decision .. We modeled this problem as a sequential decision process and used stochastic dynamic programming in order to find the optimal decision at each decision stage. We consider a single-server queue in discrete time, in which customers must be served before some limit sojourn time of geometrical distribution.

The novelty in our approach is to thoroughly blend the stochastic time with a formal approach to the problem, which preserves the Markov property. Commonly used method for studying the problem of existence of solutions to the average cost dynamic programming equation (ACOE) is the vanishing-discount method, an asymptotic method based on the solution of the much better . The above finite and infinite horizon Markov decision processes fall into the broader class of Markov decision processes that assume perfect state information-in other words, an exact description of the system. With the development of science and technology, there are large numbers of complicated and stochastic systems in many areas, including communication (Internet and wireless), manufacturing, intelligent robotics, and traffic management etc..
