Σύνοψη	Deterministic Dynamic Programming (DDP) is a mathematical optimization technique that decomposes a multi-stage decision problem into a sequence of simpler subproblems, solving them exactly when all system parameters — transition functions, costs, and rewards — are known with certainty. It guarantees a globally optimal policy via Bellman's principle of optimality.	A Markov Model represents a system as a finite set of states and specifies the probability of moving from one state to another at each time step. By capturing only the current state — not the full history — it enables tractable analysis of complex dynamic processes across health economics, engineering reliability, operations research, and social-science modeling.
