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.

The highest possible minimal norm of a unimodular lattice is determined in dimensions n 33. There are precisely five odd 32-dimensional lattices with the highest possible minimal norm (compared with more than 8.10 20 in dimension 33). Unimodular lattices with no roots exist if and only if n 23, n{25
