| Summary: |
Focusing on the modeling and solution of deterministic multistage decision problems, this book looks at dyclmic programming as a problem-solving optimization method. With over 400 useful references, this edition discusses the dyclmic programming analysis of a problem, illustrates the rationale behind this analysis, and clarifies the theoretical grounds that justify the rationale. It also explains the meaning and role of the concept of state in dyclmic programming, examines the purpose and function of the principle of optimality, and outlines solution strategies for problems defiant of conventi |
