First, we show that several ex-amples from the AI literature can be modeled assuccinct MDPs.  Then we present computationalapproaches for upper and lower bounds for theSSP problem: (a) for computing upper bounds, ourmethod is polynomial-time in the implicit descrip-tion of the MDP; (b) for lower bounds, we present apolynomial-time (in the size of the implicit descrip-tion) reduction to quadratic programming. Our ap-proach is applicable even to infinite-state MDPs.Finally, we present experimental results to demon-strate the effectiveness of our approach on severalclassical examples from the AI literature."}],"day":"17","volume":2018,"related_material":{"record":[{"id":"8934","relation":"dissertation_contains","status":"public"}]},"month":"07","oa":1,"article_processing_charge":"No","arxiv":1,"publication":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Seventh International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","external_id":{"isi":["000764175404118"],"arxiv":["1804.08984"]}}]
