Further Topics on Discrete-Time Markov Control Processes

This book is devoted to a systematic exposition of some recent develop ments in the theory of discrete-time Markov control processes. Interes t is mainly confined to MCPs with Borel state and control spaces, and possibly unbounded costs. The book follows on from the author's earlie r volume in this area however, an important feature of the present vol ume is that it is essentially self-contained and can be read independe ntly of the first volume. Although both volumes deal with similar clas ses of markov control processes the assumptions on the control models are usually different.
