Abstract

This paper focuses on solving a finite horizon semi-Markov decision process with multiple constraints. We convert the problem to a constrained absorbing discrete-time Markov decision process and then to an equivalent linear program over a class of occupancy measures. The existence, characterization and computation of constrained-optimal policies are established under suitable conditions. An example is given to demonstrate our results.
