Overview

Incorporating a number of the author s recent ideas and examples, Dynamic Programming: Foundations and Principles, Second Edition presents a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of dynamic programming. The author emphasizes the crucial role that modeling plays in understanding this area. He also shows how Dijkstra s algorithm is an excellent example of a dynamic programming algorithm, despite the impression given by the computer science literature. New to the Second Edition

• Expanded discussions of sequential decision models and the role of the state variable in modeling
• A new chapter on forward dynamic programming models
• A new chapter on the Push method that gives a dynamic programming perspective on Dijkstra s algorithm for the shortest path problem
• A new appendix on the Corridor method
Taking into account recent developments in dynamic programming, this edition continues to provide a systematic, formal outline of Bellman s approach to dynamic programming. It looks at dynamic programming as a problem-solving methodology, identifying its constituent components and explaining its theoretical basis for tackling problems.
