Researchers have developed a new policy-iteration algorithm called iPI that improves upon existing methods for determining the safety of states in non-deterministic sequential decision-making problems. While the current leading algorithm, TarjanSafe, is effective on benchmarks, it can have exponential worst-case runtime. A linear-time alternative exists but is slower in practice. The new iPI algorithm matches TarjanSafe's best-case performance while guaranteeing a polynomial worst-case runtime, demonstrating superior scalability in certain problem types. AI
