Standard algorithms to compute optimal policies for MDP utilizing Dynamic Programming are as follows, and we will be covering both in detail in later sections of this chapter:
- Value Iteration algorithm: An iterative algorithm, in which state values are iterated until it reaches optimal values; and, subsequently, optimum values are utilized to determine the optimal policy
- Policy Iteration algorithm: An iterative algorithm, in which policy evaluation and policy improvements are utilized alternatively to reach optimal policy
Value Iteration algorithm: Value Iteration algorithms are easy to compute for the very reason of applying iteratively on only state values. First, we will ...
