Consider a generalization of the inventory model of Sec. 3.2 in which unfilled orders may be backlogged indefinitely with a cost of b(u) if u units are backlogged for one period. Assume revenue is received at the end of the period in which orders are placed and that backlogging costs are charged only if a unit is backlogged for an entire month, in which case the backlogging cost is incurred at the beginning of that month. a. Identify the state space and derive transition probabilities and expected rewards.
