摘要
The problem of finding a routing problem through a network has been solved by dynamic programming. A different version of the problem is now introduced, where at each city there is a transition probability p//i//j of going from city i to city j. The expected time of going from city i to N (end of destination) is then calculated. If, however, at each city there is a choice of policies (one might decide to travel from city i to city j by a different method of transport) then a new Markovian decision process is formulated. The method is easily extended for finding the maximum reliability from city i to city N using an optimal policy.
