On Bellman's principle with inequality constraints

Edwin K. P. Chong, Scott A. Miller, Jason Adaska

Published 2011-11-14Version 1

We consider an example by Haviv (1996) of a constrained Markov decision process that, in some sense, violates Bellman's principle. We resolve this issue by showing how to preserve a form of Bellman's principle that accounts for a change of constraint at states that are reachable from the initial state.
