Expected Value of a recursive function

I want to calculate an expected Value for a given random Variable.
I have



$c_0 = 0,$
$c_{i+1} = max lbrace c_i,r_{i+1} rbrace + d_{i+1},$
where $c_i,r_i,d_i$ are continuous random variables with a given distribution. I have tried an approach using markov chains but unfortunately I am not so familiar with that. Could someone give me a hint/approach or just some book where I could find a solution?
