Foundations of Average-Cost Nonhomogeneous Controlled Markov Chains - SpringerBriefs in Electrical and Computer Engineering 1st ed. 2021 edition

Using confluencity and relative optimization, the author classifies states as confluent or branching and shows how the under-selectivity issue of the long-run average can be easily addressed, multi-class optimization implemented, and Nth biases and Blackwell optimality conditions derived.
