Abstract

A Blackwell $\epsilon$-optimal strategy in a Markov Decision Process is a strategy that is $\epsilon$-optimal for every discount factor sufficiently close to 1.

We prove the existence of Blackwell $\epsilon$-optimal strategies in finite Markov Decision Processes with partial observation.
