✦ Synopsis


Let f l and .fz map [O,Tl into the real numbers. A system is following either f l or .f2 and earning the associated reward I.fl or Sf?. respectively. It is possible at any time to switch from .fi to ./) by paying a switching cost b > 0.

We determine a switching policy which maximizes the total reward. Conditions which guarantee a planning horizon are established.
