Abstract

The transient case for discrete time dynamic programs is extended to allow for fairly general state and action spaces. Most of the finite state space results hold, including that the transient case exists if and only if there exists a certain condition involving just the stationary policies. These results are applied to a problem of controlling a multitype branching process.
