The Optimal Reward Operator in Negative Dynamic Programming [PDF]
Mathematics of Operations Research, 1992 We consider the negative dynamic programming model of Strauch [12] and prove that the optimal reward function can be obtained by a transfinite iteration of the optimal reward operator. We show that a player loses nothing by restricting himself to measurable policies, if the returns from nonmeasurable policies are evaluated by lower integrals.

The Optimal Reward Operator in Dynamic Programming
The Annals of Probability, 1974 Consider a dynamic programming problem with analytic state space $S$, analytic constraint set $A$, and semi-analytic reward function $r(x, P, y)$ for $(x, P)\in A$ and $y\in S$: namely, $\{r > a\}$ is an analytic set for all $a$. Let $Tf$ be the optimal reward in one move, with the modified reward function $r(x, P, y) + f(y)$. The optimal reward in $n$
