Continuous Time Markov Decision Processes with Expected Discounted Total Rewards
Abstract. This paper discusses continuous time Markov decision processes with criterion of expected discounted total rewards, where the state space is countable, the reward rate function is extended real-valued and the discount rate is a real number. Under necessary conditions that the model is well defined, the state space is partitioned into three subsets, on which the optimal value function ...
متن کاملDiscounted Continuous Time Markov Decision Processes: the Convex Analytic Approach
The convex analytic approach which is dual, in some sense, to dynamic programming, is useful for the investigation of multicriteria control problems. It is well known for discrete time models, and the current paper presents similar results for the continuous time case. Namely, we define and study the space of occupation measures, and apply the abstract convex analysis to the study of constraine...
متن کاملAccelerated 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 کاملContinuous time Markov decision processes
In this paper, we consider denumerable state continuous time Markov decision processes with (possibly unbounded) transition and cost rates under average criterion. We present a set of conditions and prove the existence of both average cost optimal stationary policies and a solution of the average optimality equation under the conditions. The results in this paper are applied to an admission con...
