New geometric framework analyzes non-stationary adversarial MDPs

Researchers have developed a new geometric framework, termed "normal-fan geometry," to analyze non-stationary adversarial Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). This approach distinguishes between consequential and harmless non-stationarity by examining how changes in loss vectors affect optimal policies. The framework introduces the concept of a "face-crossing price" to quantify the regret incurred when the optimal face shifts, thereby separating the cost of non-stationarity from selection errors.
