Title: | Markov control processes with the expected total cost criterion: Optimality, stability, and transient models |
Authors: | Carrasco, G Hernández-Lerma, O Perez-Hernández, R |
Issue Date: | 1999 |
Abstract: | This paper studies the expected total cost (ETC) criterion for discrete-time Markov control processes on Borel spaces, and possibly unbounded cost-per-stage functions. It presents optimality results which include conditions for a control policy to be ETC-optimal and for the ETC-value function to be a solution of the dynamic programming equation. Conditions are also given for the ETC-value function to be the limit of the alpha-discounted cost value function as alpha up arrow 1, and for the Markov control process to be 'stable' in the sense of Lagrange and almost surely. In addition, transient control models are fully analized. The paper thus provides a fairly complete, up-dated, survey-like presentation of the ETC criterion for Markov control processes on Borel spaces. |
