    Variational characterizations and bounds for the solutions of systems of functional equations in discounted and undiscounted semi-Markov decision processes are obtained. Such upper and lower bounds can be used to measure the deviation of the current solution from optimality. The variational characterizations suggest numerical algorithms.
