Note:Iterative algorithms are proposed for adaptive long-run average cost control of finite state Markov chains. The algorithms estimate the unknown parameter using a strongly consistent estimator, and use this estimate to update the control policy. No prior knowledge of the optimal control policies is assumed. The main contribution of this thesis is the on line computation of an optimal control based on strongly consistent estimates of the unknown parameters. At each iteration, the actions of any number of states, as few as one or as many as all states, may be updated as long as the actions of the states along the sample path of the chain are updated in the order that those states are generated; in this sense the algorithms are referred to...
