چکیده

The existence of an optimal feedback law is established for the risk sensitive optimal control problem with denumerable state space. The main assumptions imposed are irreducibility, and a near monotonicity condition on the one-step cost function. It is found that a solution can be found constructively using either value iteration or policy iteration under suitable conditions on initial feedback law.

Existence of Risk Sensitive Optimal Stationary Policies for Controlled Markov Processes

In this paper we are concerned with the existence of optimal stationary policies for in nite horizon risk sensitive Markov control processes with denumerable state space, unbounded cost function, and long run average cost. Introducing a discounted cost dynamic game, we prove that its value function satis es an Isaacs equation, and its relationship with the risk sensitive control problem is stud...

Risk-Sensitive Control of Markov Decision Processes

This paper introduces an algorithm to determine near-optimal control laws for Markov Decision Processes with a risk-sensitive criterion. Both the fully observed and the partially observed settings are considered, for nite and innnite horizon formulations. Dynamic programming equations are introduced which characterize the value function for the partially observed, innnite horizon , discounted c...
