Description

In an MDP, a policy is a choice of what action to choose at each state An Optimal Policy is a policy where you are always choosing the action that maximizes the “return”/”utility” of the current state. The problem here is to find such an optimal policy from a given MDP.

Parameters

$n$: number of states
