We consider large-scale Markov decision processes (MDPs) with parameter uncertainty, under the robust MDP paradigm. Previous studies showed that robust MDPs, based on a minimax approach to handle uncertainty, can be solved using dynamic…

We study single-stage decision problems in which a subset of items with minimum total cost has to be selected at once from a given set of items, subject to two costs of each item -fixed and uncertain -and cardinality constraints for each…
