  - "We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) with multiple limit-average (or
    mean-payoff) objectives. \r\nThere have been two different views: (i) the expectation
    semantics, where the goal is to optimize the expected mean-payoff objective, and
    (ii) the satisfaction semantics, where the goal is to maximize the probability
    of runs such that the mean-payoff value stays above a given vector.  \r\nWe consider
    the problem where the goal is to optimize the expectation under the constraint
    that the satisfaction semantics is ensured, and thus consider a generalization
    that unifies the existing semantics. Our problem captures the notion of optimization
    with respect to strategies that are risk-averse (i.e., ensures certain probabilistic
    guarantee).\r\nOur main results are algorithms for the decision problem which
    are always polynomial in the size of the MDP.\r\nWe also show that an approximation
    of the Pareto-curve can be computed in time polynomial in the size of the MDP,
    and the approximation factor, but exponential in the number of dimensions. Finally,
    we present a complete characterization of the strategy complexity (in terms of
    memory bounds and randomization) required to solve our problem.@eng"
