  • Abstract
    Time-average Markov decision processes with finite state and action spaces are considered. Several definitions of variability are introduced and compared. It is shown that a stationary policy maximizes one of these criteria, namely, the expected long-run average variability. An algorithm that produces such an optimal stationary policy is given
