Abstract

Continuing the central themes of this book, as an application of the asymptotic properties of singularly perturbed Markov chains, this chapter focuses on hierarchical controls for a class of Markov decision problems. Our main attention is on finite-state continuous-time Markov decision processes (MDP) having weak and strong interactions.
