Mean-Variance Optimization in Markov Decision Processes

Download web.mit.edu

We consider ﬁnite horizon Markov decision processes under performance measures that involve both the mean and the variance of the cumulative reward. We show that either randomized or history-based policies can improve performance. We prove that the complexity of computing a policy that maximizes the mean reward under a variance constraint is NP-hard for some cases, and strongly NP-hard for others. We ﬁnally offer pseudopolynomial exact and approximation algorithms.
