Quantitative propagation of chaos for mean field Markov decision process with common noise
Abstract
We investigate propagation of chaos for mean field Markov Decision Process with common noise (CMKV-MDP), and when the optimization is performed over randomized open-loop controls on infinite horizon. We first state a rate of convergence of order , where is the mean rate of convergence in Wasserstein distance of the empirical measure, and is an explicit constant, in the limit of the value functions of -agent control problem with asymmetric open-loop controls, towards the value function of CMKV-MDP. Furthermore, we show how to explicitly construct -optimal policies for the -agent model from -optimal policies for the CMKV-MDP. Our approach relies on sharp comparison between the Bellman operators in the -agent problem and the CMKV-MDP, and fine coupling of empirical measures.
