We derive a novel asymptotic problem-dependent lower-bound for regret minimization in finite-horizon tabular Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). While, similar to prior work (e.g., for ergodic MDPs), the lower-bound is the solution to an…

In this paper, we present a novel method for synthesising an optimal distributed spatial regret controller using experimentally obtained frequency-response data. Spatial regret provides a measure of the performance gap between a structured…
