The underlying dynamics are a Markov chain in continuous time and the associated rewards are piecewise linear. We observe that, the use of priority indices to sub-optimally solve the restless bandit problem yields, for a particular example, results close to the optimalMarkov processesproduction controlDynamic scheduling of a flexible machine.
