In [5], a pair of dynamic programming inequalities were derived for the ‘separated’ ergodic control problem for partially observed Markov processes, using the ‘vanishing discount’ argument. In this note, we strengthen these results to derive a single dynamic programming equation for the same. 1Research supported in part by a grant for ‘Nonlinear Studies’ from the Indian Space Research Organizat...

introduction: in this study the automatic separation of oral and salivary gland activity and spontaneous secretion by means of factor analysis for quantitative salivary gland scintigraphy is introduced. methods: after intravenous administration of 99mtc sodium pertechnetate, dynamic scintigraphy was performed. 20 minutes after tracer application 2 ml of lemon juice was delivered to stimulate t...
