A dynamic programming algorithm for decentralized Markov decision processes with a broadcast structure
We give an optimal dynamic programming algorithm to solve a class of finite-horizon decentralized Markov decision processes (MDPs). We consider problems with a broadcast informati...

Reasoning about MDPs as Transformers of Probability Distributions
We consider Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) as transformers on probability distributions, where with respect to a scheduler that resolves nondeterminism, the MDP can be seen as ex...

Optimism in Reinforcement Learning Based on Kullback-Leibler Divergence
We consider model-based reinforcement learning in finite Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), focussing on so-called optimistic strategies. Optimism is usually implemented by carryin...

Partial Order Reduction for Probabilistic Branching Time
In the past, partial order reduction has been used successfully to combat the state explosion problem in the context of model checking for non-probabilistic systems. For both line...

MDPs with Unawareness
Markov decision processes (MDPs) are widely used for modeling decision-making problems in robotics, automated control, and economics. Traditional MDPs assume that the decision mak...
