摘要
We consider the computation of the optimal cost and policy associated with a two-dimensional Markov replacement problem with partial observations, for two special cases of observation quality. Relying on structural results available for the optimal policy associated with these two particular models, we show that, in both cases, the infinite-horizon, optimal discounted cost function is piecewise linear, and provide formulas for computing the cost and the policy. Several examples illustrate the usefulness of the results.
