María José Pardo, David de la Fuente

In this paper, we calculate the best policy to be implemented regarding publicity decisions in a queueing system by using Markovian decision processes with fuzzy states. To this end, first we have defined the theory linking Markov chains with non-fuzzy states with Markov chains with fuzzy states, and we have calculated the Markov chain probabilities with fuzzy states using the conditional probability of the fuzzy eventà j given the fuzzy eventà i . Next, we illustrate by an example the
more » ... al results previously obtained. In the example, we apply the linear programming solution to the Markovian decision processes.
