The authors survey major developments and applications of fuzzy dynamic programming which is here advocated as a promising attempt at making dynamic programming models more realistic by a relaxation of often artificial assumptions of precision as to the constraints, goals, states and their transitions, termination time, etc. Issues related to numerical efficiency are considered. Applications in R&D planning, health care and medicine, socioeconomic regional development, energy systems, water and environmental systems, chemical engineering, etc. are surveyed.
