✦ Synopsis

In this paper a Markovian decision process with fuzzy states is considered. It is shown that if the Markov chain associated with the process of non-fuzzy states is irreducible, then the corresponding Markov chain associated with the fuzzy states is also irreducible. The importance of this result lies in the fact that the traditional methods for solving the Markovian decision process can be used in the case with fuzzy states also.
