Markov Decision Processes: Discrete Stochastic Dynamic Programming. Proceedings of the IEEE, 77(2): 257-286.. A tutorial on hidden Markov models and selected applications in speech recognition. We consider a single-server queue in discrete time, in which customers must be served before some limit sojourn time of geometrical distribution. An MDP is a model of a dynamic system whose behavior varies with time. I start by focusing on two well-known algorithm examples ( fibonacci sequence and the knapsack problem), and in the next post I will move on to consider an example from economics, in particular, for a discrete time, discrete state Markov decision process (or reinforcement learning). We establish the structural properties of the stochastic dynamic programming operator and we deduce that the optimal policy is of threshold type.

A path-breaking account of Markov decision processes-theory and computation. 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. Dynamic programming (or DP) is a powerful optimization technique that consists of breaking a problem down into smaller sub-problems, where the sub-problems are not independent. 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. The elements of an MDP model are the following [7]:(1)system states,(2)possible actions at each system state,(3)a reward or cost associated with each possible state-action pair,(4)next state transition probabilities for each possible state-action pair.
