Optimal Limited Contingency Planning
For a given problem, the optimal Markov policy over a finite horizon is a conditional plan containing a potentially large number of branches. However, there are applications wher...

Efficient Approximation of Optimal Control for Markov Games
The success of probabilistic model checking for discrete-time Markov decision processes and continuous-time Markov chains has led to rich academic and industrial applications. The ...

Dynamic Programming for Structured Continuous Markov Decision Problems
We describe an approach for exploiting structure in Markov Decision Processes with continuous state variables. At each step of the dynamic programming, the state space is dynamica...

Optimizing debt collections using constrained reinforcement learning
In this paper, we propose and develop a novel approach to the problem of optimally managing the tax, and more generally debt, collections processes at financial institutions. Our...
