Deciding the Value 1 Problem for sharp-acyclic Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes

Abstract

The value 1 problem is a natural decision problem in algorithmic game theory. For partially observable Markov decision processes with reachability objective, this problem is defined as follows: are there observational strategies that achieve the reachability objective with probability arbitrarily close to 1? This problem was shown undecidable recently. Our contribution is to introduce a class of partially observable Markov decision processes, namely ]-acyclic partially observable Markov decision processes, for which the value 1 problem is decidable. Our algorithm is based on the construction of a two-player perfect information game, called the knowledge game, abstracting the behaviour of a ]-acyclic partially observable Markov decision process M such that the first player has a winning strategy in the knowledge game if and only if the value of M is 1.
