3.4.7 Let X, be a Markov chain with transition probabilities P. We are given a "discount factor" ẞ with 0<ẞ<1 and a cost function c(i), and we wish to determine the total expected discounted cost starting from state i, defined by [xxx] ΕΣ Using a first step analysis show that h; satisfies the system of linear equations h=c(i)+BPh for all states i.
