Markov chains are an important idea, related to random walks, which crops up widely in applied stochastic analysis. They are used for example in performance modeling and evaluation of computer networks, queuing networks, and telecommunication systems. The main point of the present book is to provide

<p>A long time ago I started writing a book about Markov chains, Brownian motion, and diffusion. I soon had two hundred pages of manuscript and my publisher was enthusiastic. Some years and several drafts later, I had a thousand pages of manuscript, and my publisher was less enthusiastic. So we made
This book concerns continuous-time controlled Markov chains, also known as continuous-time Markov decision processes. They form a class of stochastic control problems in which a single decision-maker wishes to optimize a given objective function. This book is also concerned with Markov games, where
