A weakness of classical Markov decision processes (MDPs) is that they scale very poorly due to the flat state-space representation. Factored MDPs address this representational pro...
The refinement calculus of Back, Morgan, Morris, and others is based on monotone predicate transformers (weakest preconditions) where conjunctions stand for demonic choices betwee...
