Optimal maintenance of deteriorating equipment using semi-Markov decision processes and linear programming [PDF]
International Journal of Industrial Engineering and ManagementThis paper considers a mathematical model analysing the deterioration of system equipment and available maintenance options. Under specific conditions on costs and transition probabilities of the model, the issue of ideal maintenance of the equipment by ...

A Fast-Pivoting Algorithm for Whittle’s Restless Bandit Index
Mathematics, 2020 The Whittle index for restless bandits (two-action semi-Markov decision processes) provides an intuitively appealing optimal policy for controlling a single generic project that can be active (engaged) or passive (rested) at each decision epoch, and ...

Reactive Reinforcement Learning in Asynchronous Environments
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2018 The relationship between a reinforcement learning (RL) agent and an asynchronous environment is often ignored. Frequently used models of the interaction between an agent and its environment, such as Markov Decision Processes (MDP) or Semi-Markov Decision

Randomized and Relaxed Strategies in Continuous-Time Markov Decision Processes. [PDF]
, 2015 One of the goals of this article is to describe a wide class of control strategies, which includes the traditional relaxed strategies, as well as the so called randomized strategies which appeared earlier only in the framework of semi-Markov decision ...

A survey on semi-Markov decision processes [PDF]
SCIENTIA SINICA Mathematica, 2015 This paper is a survey on semi-Markov decision processes (SMDPs). We present the background, the signi cance, and the research actuality of the in nite horizon expected discounted reward criterion, the long-run expected average reward criterion, the nite horizon expected reward criterion, the expected rst passage reward criterion, the probability ...

Cost rate heuristics for semi-Markov decision processes
Journal of Applied Probability, 1992 In response to the computational complexity of the dynamic programming/backwards induction approach to the development of optimal policies for semi-Markov decision processes, we propose a class of heuristics resulting from an inductive process which proceeds forwards in time.

Timed Comparisons of Semi-Markov Processes [PDF]
, 2017 Semi-Markov processes are Markovian processes in which the firing time of the transitions is modelled by probabilistic distributions over positive reals interpreted as the probability of firing a transition at a certain moment in time.

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract When deploying mobile robots in real‐world scenarios, such as airports, train stations, hospitals, and schools, collisions with pedestrians are intolerable and catastrophic. Motion safety becomes one of the most fundamental requirements for mobile robots.
