First, we prove that policy- iteration algorithm also works for the PMDP. Then, with policy- iteration algorithm, we obtain the optimal policies for a special aperiodic reservoir model with two cost functions under large penalty and give a discussion when the penalty is small.}, journal = {International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences}, volume = {6}, number = {8}, year = {2012}, pages = {1056 - 1059}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/3555}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/68}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 68, 2012}, }
