A Short Note on Stationary Distributions of Unichain Markov Decision Processes

Probability 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Dealing with unichain MDPs, we consider stationary distributions of policies that coincide in all but nn states. In these states each policy chooses one of two possible actions. We show that the stationary distributions of n+1 such policies uniquely determine the stationary distributions of all other such policies. An explicit formula for calculation is given.
