A counter machine is described by 2 counters R 1 , R 2 and a finite collection of states S. Each counter contains some nonnegative integer in its register. Depending on the current state s S and depending on whether the content of the registers is positive or zero, the counter machine is ....

Non-approximability of Decentralized Control - Rabinovich, Campus, Ram, Goldman (2002)   (Correct)

....modeling when it is formulated for a single agent, it reduces to a regular POMDP. The latter have been thoroughly studied under numerous limitations of the model s parameters. The research has produced a wide range of complexity results for control problems of POMDPs, from polynomial bounds [5, 9, 17] through undecidability bounds [14] Other distributed models, similar to Dec MDPs, have been considered as well. For example, Littman [11, 12] describes multi agent systems as Markov Games [22, 15, 21] and by applying variations of the Qlearning algorithm[23, 24] an optimal policy in a game ....

....Madani et al. prove that finding an exact policy of any sort for infinite horizon POMDPs is undecidable, and the result naturally carries over to any extension, e.g. Dec POMDP with infinite horizon. On the other hand, approximate solutions to POMDPs with infinite horizon are indeed tractable [5, 9]. Therefore, considering a process with an infinite horizon, it remains an open question whether approximating decentralized control is tractable as well. Moreover, the implementation of MIPs as models for multiagent systems can guide us in other computational complexity related topics not yet ....

....feasibility or optimality problems, provided that the rank constraint is dropped. These constraints are nonconvex and can greatly increase the complexity of solving our optimization problems. For instance, several well known NP hard problems can be formulated using rank constraints. We refer to [7, 72] for complexity results in systems and control. Alternating projection algorithms can be used to enforce these hard constraints on the solution [26] Note that these algorithms can only guarantee a local convergence to a feasible solution, which might be suboptimal. In general, optimization ....

From recent work in the control field, it appears that determining filters which provide optimal robustness to highly structured uncertainties can be computationally expensive [1].

Some researchers decided to rely on probabilities and statistics, some others are further improving global optimization strategies to cope with larger problems at a lower computational cost, some others are rather ....

Rank-one LMI Approach to Robust Stability of Polynomial.. - Henrion, Sugimoto, Sebek   (Correct)

.... For example, it was proved that checking robust stability of a polytope of polynomial matrices (the so called polytopic uncertainty model, see e.g. 2] is an NP hard problem even in the simple case that all vertex matrices are of degree zero (i.e. when they do not depend in the indeterminate) [4]. NP hardness roughly means that it is very unlikely to find an algorithm that solves the problem in a time which is a polynomial function of the problem dimensions. These negative results have naturally led to the development of conservative, yet tractable, polynomial time conditions for checking ....

Based on this result, it was then shown that stability of an affine polynomial family can be checked efficiently with a polynomial time algorithm [26] As pointed out by Blondel and Tsitsiklis in their interesting recent survey [7], the problem of deciding whether a given family of polynomials is stable is equivalent to the problem of deciding whether the family contains an unstable polynomial. This is an analysis problem. As previously stated, in the case of interval and affine polynomial families, this analysis problem ....

.... P = NP , there is no polynomial time approximation algorithm [Tsitsiklis and Blondel, 1997] From this it follows that the problems of deciding whether #(#) # 1 or whether #(#) 1 are NP hard; see [Toker, 1997] and [Gurvits, 1996] as well as [Gurvits, 1995] for other relevant results; see also [Blondel and Tsitsiklis, 2000] for a general discussion. Let us also note the finiteness conjecture (FC) which states that ## #t such that # t (#) #(#) The finiteness conjecture is discussed by Lagarias and Wang (1995) who note that if the FC is true, then the problem of determining whether #(#) 1 is decidable. This ....

The Stability of Saturated Linear Dynamical Systems.. - Blondel, Bournez.. (1999)   Self-citation (Blondel Tsitsiklis)   (Correct)

....[3] but for the case of discontinuous piecewise a#ne systems. The additional requirement of continuity imposed in this paper is a severe restriction, and makes undecidability much harder to establish. Surveys of decidability and complexity results for dynamical systems are given in [1] 12] and [8]. Our main result (Theorem 1) is a proof of Sontag s conjecture [7, 19] that global asymptotic stability of saturated linear systems is not decidable. Saturated linear systems are systems of the form x t 1 = #(Ax t ) where x t evolves in the state space R n , A is a square matrix, and # denotes ....
