Markovian Demand Inventory Models

From the reviews: "In this book, the authors present a complete, rigorous mathematical treatment of the classical dynamic inventory models with stochastic demands. ... This book is an elegant and comprehensive account of Markovian demand inventory models. It will be useful for students, researchers and practitioners in operations management and industrial engineering." (P. R. Parthasarathy, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 g)
