Abstract
In this paper a Markovian decision process with fuzzy states is consid ered. It is shown that if the Markov chain associated with the process of non-fuzzy states is irreducible, then the corresponding Markov cha in associated with the fuzzy states is also il reducible. The importan ce of this result lies in the fact that the traditional methods for so lving the Markovian decision process can be used in the case with fuzz y states also.
