Explicit Solution of the Average-Cost Optimality Equation for a Pest-Control Problem
We introduce a Markov decision process in continuous time for the optimal control of a simple symmetrical immigration-emigration process by the introduction of total catastrophes. It is proved that a particular control-limit policy is average cost optimal within the class of all stationary policies...
