Consequently (?) the mathematical sophistication required varies very widely from one page to the next. Also, it makes no attempt to be self contained, but refers freely to other sources. The topic is quite specialized,||"an outstanding addition to the MDPs literature and it complements." tstanding addition to the MDPs literature and it complements."
This book provides a unified approach for the study of constrained Markov decision processes with a finite state space and unbounded costs. Unlike the single controller case considered in many other books, the author considers a single controller with several objectives, such as minimizing delays and loss, probabilities, and maximization of throughputs. It is desirable to design a controller that minimizes one cost objective, subject to inequality constraints on other c...
