Abstract: In this paper, we study discrete infinite-time horizon undiscounted finite-state and finite-action $$\textit{MDP}$$MDPs with average cost criteria. Based on a combinatorial approach, we show that completely ergodic $$\textit{MDP}$$MDPs can be reduced to a generalized minimum… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications"

DOI: 10.1016/j.jmaa.2017.01.084

Abstract: Abstract This work concerns with Markov chains on a finite state space, which is endowed with a cost function. The evolution of the chain is observed by an agent with constant risk-sensitivity and, assuming that… read more here.
