Puterman, Markov Decision Processes: Discrete Stochastic Dynamic Programming, Wiley, 2005. 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.

MDPs can be used to model and solve dynamic decision-making Markov Decision Processes With Their Applications examines MDPs and their applications in the optimal control of discrete event systems (DESs), optimal replacement, and optimal allocations in sequential online auctions.

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. A path-breaking account of Markov decision processes-theory and computation. May 9th, 2013 reviewer Leave a comment Go to comments. An MDP is a model of a dynamic system whose behavior varies with time. However, determining an optimal control policy is intractable in many cases. 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.. 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. Puterman Publisher: Wiley-Interscience. Markov decision processes (MDPs), also called stochastic dynamic programming, were first studied in the 1960s. A wide variety of stochastic control problems can be posed as Markov decision processes.
