文摘This paper is about an optimal pricing control under a Markov chain model.The objective is to dynamically adjust the product price over time to maximize a discounted reward function.It is shown that the optimal control policy is of threshold type.Closed-form solutions are obtained.A numerical example is also provided to illustrate our results.
