First, we show that several ex-amples from the AI literature can be modeled assuccinct MDPs.  Then we present computationalapproaches for upper and lower bounds for theSSP problem: (a) for computing upper bounds, ourmethod is polynomial-time in the implicit descrip-tion of the MDP; (b) for lower bounds, we present apolynomial-time (in the size of the implicit descrip-tion) reduction to quadratic programming. Our ap-proach is applicable even to infinite-state MDPs.Finally, we present experimental results to demon-strate the effectiveness of our approach on severalclassical examples from the AI literature.","lang":"eng"}],"_id":"5977","date_published":"2018-07-17T00:00:00Z","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["978-099924112-7"],"issn":["10450823"]},"scopus_import":"1","external_id":{"arxiv":["1804.08984"],"isi":["000764175404118"]},"date_updated":"2025-06-02T08:53:44Z","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","oa_version":"Preprint","year":"2018","isi":1,"publisher":"IJCAI","intvolume":"      2018","status":"public","publication":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Seventh International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","department":[{"_id":"KrCh"}],"quality_controlled":"1","page":"4700-4707","date_created":"2019-02-13T13:26:27Z","month":"07","project":[{"name":"Efficient Algorithms for Computer Aided Verification","grant_number":"ICT15-003","_id":"25892FC0-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"},{"_id":"25832EC2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FWF","name":"Rigorous Systems Engineering","grant_number":"S 11407_N23"},{"call_identifier":"FP7","_id":"2581B60A-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"279307","name":"Quantitative Graph Games: Theory and Applications"}],"related_material":{"record":[{"status":"public","id":"8934","relation":"dissertation_contains"}]},"doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2018/653","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"title":"Computational approaches for stochastic shortest path on succinct MDPs","conference":{"location":"Stockholm, Sweden","name":"IJCAI: International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","end_date":"2018-07-19","start_date":"2018-07-13"},"citation":{"apa":"Chatterjee, K., Fu, H., Goharshady, A.
