Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) form a cornerstone of applied probability, with over 50 years of rich research history. Throughout this time, numerous foundational books and thousands of journal articles have shaped the field. The central objective of MDP theory is to identify the optimal control strategy for Markov random processes with discrete time. Interestingly, the best control strategies often display unexpected or counterintuitive behaviors, as documented by a wide array of studies.This book gathers some of the most compelling examples of such phenomena while introducing new ones. By doing so, it serves as a valuable companion to existing textbooks. While many examples require little to no prior knowledge, others delve into advanced topics and will primarily interest specialists.In this second edition, extensive revisions have been made, correcting errors and refining the content, with a wealth of new examples added. The range of examples spans from elementary to advanced, requiring background knowledge in areas like measure theory, convex analysis, and advanced probability. A new chapter on continuous time jump processes has also been introduced. The entire text has been reworked for clarity and accessibility.This book is an essential resource for active researchers and graduate students in the field of Markov Decision Processes.

""This remarkable and intriguing book is highly recommended. Some examples are aimed at undergraduate students, whilst others will be of interest to advanced undergraduates, graduates and research students in probability theory, optimal control and applied mathematics, looking for a better understanding of the theory; experts in Markov decision processes, professional or amateur researchers. Active researchers can refer to this book on applicability of mathematical methods and theorems." The European Mathematical Society "The book presents many interesting topics and results. This is an important book that will be particularly useful to students and researchers on MDPs. I recommend it to anyone interested in the theory of MDPs."

This invaluable book provides approximately eighty examples illustrating the theory of controlled discrete-time Markov processes. Except for applications of the theory to real-life problems like stock exchange, queues, gambling, optimal search etc, the main attention is paid to counter-intuitive, unexpected properties of optimization problems. Such examples illustrate the importance of conditions imposed in the theorems on Markov Decision Processes. Many of the examples are based upon examples published earlier in journal articles or textbooks while several other examples are new. The aim was to collect them together in one reference book which should be considered as a complement to existing monographs on Markov decision processes. The book is self-contained and unified in presentation. The main theoretical statements and constructions are provided, and particular examples can be read independently of others. Examples in Markov Decision Processes is an essential source of reference for mathematicians and all those who apply the optimal control theory to practical purposes. When studying or using mathematical methods, the researcher must understand what can happen if some of the conditions imposed in rigorous theorems are not satisfied. Many examples confirming the importance of such conditions were published in different journal articles which are often difficult to find. This book brings together examples based upon such sources, along with several new ones. In addition, it indicates the areas where Markov decision processes can be used. Active researchers can refer to this book on applicability of mathematical methods and theorems. It is also suitable reading for graduate and research students where they will better understand the theory.

The Wiley-Interscience Paperback Series consists of selected books that have been made more accessible to consumers in an effort to increase global appeal and general circulation. With these new unabridged softcover volumes, Wiley hopes to extend the lives of these works by making them available to future generations of statisticians, mathematicians, and scientists. "This text is unique in bringing together so many results hitherto found only in part in other texts and papers. . . . The text is fairly self-contained, inclusive of some basic mathematical results needed, and provides a rich diet of examples, applications, and exercises. The bibliographical material at the end of each chapter is excellent, not only from a historical perspective, but because it is valuable for researchers in acquiring a good perspective of the MDP research potential." —Zentralblatt fur Mathematik ". . . it is of great value to advanced-level students, researchers, and professional practitioners of this field to have now a complete volume (with more than 600 pages) devoted to this topic. . . . Markov Decision Processes: Discrete Stochastic Dynamic Programming represents an up-to-date, unified, and rigorous treatment of theoretical and computational aspects of discrete-time Markov decision processes." —Journal of the American Statistical Association
