Description

Dynamic Programming: A Mathematical Theory for Solving Optimal Policies

This comprehensive introduction to the mathematical theory of multistage decision processes presents a functional equation approach to discovering optimum policies. Written by a leading developer in the field, it covers a range of methods, uniqueness and existence theorems, and examples for solving relevant equations.

Topics include existence and uniqueness theorems, optimal inventory equations, bottleneck problems in multistage production processes, a new formalism in the calculus of variation, strategies behind multistage games, and Markovian decision processes. Each chapter concludes with a problem set to help readers apply these concepts to real-world problems.
