Hence the probability law governing transitions from a given state is indepen­ dent of what states preceded it. Here, the return νδ(χ) does not depend on how state x was attained. Note that {x} u Ωχ contains x and all states which are accessible from x. The following lemma demonstrates that νδ(χ) depends only on those decisions in δ that apply to these states. The procedure of proof will be to perform induction from the "end" of the process; that is, starting with S 1 , the proof is inductive on n.

Note that {x} u Ωχ contains x and all states which are accessible from x. The following lemma demonstrates that νδ(χ) depends only on those decisions in δ that apply to these states. The procedure of proof will be to perform induction from the "end" of the process; that is, starting with S 1 , the proof is inductive on n. The following simple consequence of the termination assumption is used in the proof: If xeSn, then Q ^ c ^ " " 1 , a fact that follows from the observation that if z e Ω χ , then nz ^ n— 1.

For a consumption model, this might be overly restrictive, since the consumer might die in any state. For example, assume that 1 — P\_co,x,dx~\ > ε for each x e Q . So the process has at least probability ε of terminating in each state. This assumption ensures that the return function is well defined, since vô(w,t) ^ ^ X l « ( O I = Μ/ε < oo provided \u\ ^ M. V. Nonterminating Processes The main result of Section IV is that a policy exists that is optimal for Ω. While this result might seem unintuitive at first, it has in fact been verified for a wide variety of more complex settings.
