In addition, it focuses on a new class of stochastic games: stochastic positional games that extend and generalize the classic deterministic positional games. It presents new algorithmic results on the suitable implementation of quasi-monotonic programming techniques. Moreover, the book presents applications of positional games within a class of multi-objective discrete control problems and hierarchical control problems on networks. Given its scope, the book will benefit all researchers and graduate students who are interested in Markov theory, control theory, optimization and games. 410 0$aInternational Series in Operations Research & Management Science,$x2214-7934 ;$v349 606 $aOperations research 606 $aMathematics 606 $aManagement science 606 $aMathematical optimization 606 $aAlgorithms 606 $aOperations Research and Decision Theory 606 $aApplications of Mathematics 606 $aOperations Research, Management Science 606 $aOptimization 606 $aAlgorithms 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aManagement science. 615 0$aMathematical optimization. 615 0$aAlgorithms. 615 14$aOperations Research and Decision Theory. 615 24$aApplications of Mathematics. 615 24$aOperations Research, Management Science. 615 24$aOptimization. 615 24$aAlgorithms. 676 $a629.8312 700 $aLozovanu$b Dmitrii$0731266 702 $aPickl$b Stefan Wolfgang 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910800116203321 996 $aMarkov Decision Processes and Stochastic Positional Games$93874446 997 $aUNINA
