In this paper discounted and average Markov decision processes with finite state space and countable action set (semi-infinite MDP for short) are discussed. Without ordinary continuity and compactness conditions, for discounted semi-infinite MDP we have shown that by exploiting the results on...

In this paper weighted singularly perturbed hybrid stochastic systems are discussed. Under some reasonable assumptions, it is shown that there exists a uniformly δ-optimal policy when the perturbation is sufficiently small. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005

In this paper we consider the weighted reward Markov decision process, with perturbation. The “weighted reward” refers to appropriately normalized convex combination of the discounted and the long-run average reward criteria. This criterion allows the controller to trade-off short-term costs...
