Accelerated decomposition techniques for large discounted Markov decision processes
Many hierarchical techniques to solve large Markov decision processes (MDPs) are based on the partition of the state space into strongly connected components (SCCs) that can be classified into some levels. In each level, smaller problems named restricted MDPs are solved, and then these partial solutions are combined to obtain the global solution. In this paper, we first propose a novel algorith...
متن کاملDiscounted Markov decision processes with utility constraints
-We consider utility-constrained Markov decision processes. The expected utility of the total discounted reward is maximized subject to multiple expected utility constraints. By introducing a corresponding Lagrange function, a saddle-point theorem of the utility constrained optimization is derived. The existence of a constrained optimal policy is characterized by optimal action sets specified w...
متن کاملSemi-markov Decision Processes
Considered are infinite horizon semi-Markov decision processes (SMDPs) with finite state and action spaces. Total expected discounted reward and long-run average expected reward optimality criteria are reviewed. Solution methodology for each criterion is given, constraints and variance sensitivity are also discussed.
متن کاملSemi-Markov Decision Processes
The previous chapter dealt with the discrete-time Markov decision model. In this model, decisions can be made only at fixed epochs t = 0, 1, . . . . However, in many stochastic control problems the times between the decision epochs are not constant but random. A possible tool for analysing such problems is the semiMarkov decision model. In Section 7.1 we discuss the basic elements of this model...
