On essential information in sequential decision processes

Mathematical Methods of Operations Research, 2005, vol. 62, issue 3, 399-410

Abstract: This paper provides sufficient conditions when certain information about the past of a stochastic decision processes can be ignored by a controller. We illustrate the results with particular applications to queueing control, control of semi-Markov decision processes with iid sojourn times, and uniformization of continuous-time Markov decision processes.
