Sociodynamics applied to the evolution of urban and regional structures.
In this paper we are exploiting some similarities between Markov and Bellman processes and we introduce the main concepts of the paper: comparison of performance measures, and monotonicity of Bellman chains. These concepts are used to establish the main result of this paper dealing with comparison of Bellman chains.
A problem (arisen from applications to networks) is posed about the principal minors of the matrix of transition probabilities of a Markov chain.
