Title
Computing the expected accumulated reward and gain for a subclass of infinite markov chains
Abstract
We consider the problem of computing the expected accumulated reward and the average gain per transition in a subclass of Markov chains with countable state spaces where all states are assigned a non-negative reward. We state several abstract conditions that guarantee computability of the above properties up to an arbitrarily small (but non-zero) given error. Finally, we show that our results can be applied to probabilistic lossy channel systems, a well-known model of processes communicating through faulty channels.
