Overview: This book is concerned with a class of discrete-time stochastic control processes known as controlled Markov processes (CMP‘s), also known as Markov decision processes or Markov dynamic programs. Starting in the mid-1950swith Richard Bellman, many contributions to CMP‘s have been made, and applications to engineering, statistics and operations research, among other areas, have also been developed. The purpose of this book is to present some recent developments on the theory of adaptive CMP‘s, i. e. , CMP‘s that depend on unknown parameters. Thus at each decision time, the controller
