This paper treats a Markov decision problem with an infinite planning horizon and no discounting. This model is analyzed by application, perhaps repeated, of a simple linear program.

ok i have been doing this problem for days now and just can't get it going.. tried about 5 different ways but i dont know. Please help. Best answer gets the points. Radmore Memorial Hospital has a ...

As the title suggests, I have a problem in which I need to formulate an LP model. I'm supposed to work in Excel and use the Solver Add-in feature.I've done several other problems already, but this ...
