Further Topics on Discrete-Time Markov Control Processes

This book presents the second part of a two-volume series devoted to a sys­ tematic exposition of some recent developments in the theory of discrete­ time Markov control processes (MCPs). As in the first part, hereafter re­ ferred to as "Volume I" (see Hernandez-Lerma and Lasserre [1]), interest is mainly confined to MCPs with Borel state and control spaces, and possibly unbounded costs. However, an important feature of the present volume is that it is essentially self-contained and can be read
