# Semi-Markov Control Processes with Unknown Holding Times Distribution Under an Average Cost Criterion

Semi-Markov Control Processes with Unknown Holding Times Distribution Under an Average Cost... This paper deals with a class of semi-Markov control models with Borel state and control spaces, possibly unbounded costs, and unknown holding times distribution F . Assuming that F does not depend on state-action pairs, we combine suitable methods of statistical estimation of the mean holding time with control procedures to construct an average cost optimal Markovian policy $\hat{\pi}=\{f_{t}\}$ . http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Applied Mathematics and Optimization Springer Journals
