When discount factor is set to 1.0:
Actions every 1 time step: Horizon 24:
Horizon 36:
Horizon 48:
Horizon 72:
Horizon 96:
When actions take place every 8 time steps (i.e. 32 days): Horizon 24:
Horizon 36:
Horizon 48:
Horizon 72:
Horizon 96:
Policy changes as a function of both time horizon and frequency of interventions possible.
With population 20 and discount factor 0.99 per time step, when interventions happen every 1 time step (i.e. 4 days):
Horizon = 24 time steps (i.e. 72 days):
Horizon = 48:
Horizon = 72:
Horizon = 96 (i.e. 384 days):
By comparison, when interventions happen every 8 time steps (i.e. once per 32 days):
Horizon = 24:
Horizon = 48:
Horizon = 72:
Horizon = 96:
