Researchers have developed two novel algorithms, REP-PD-TEG and REP-PD-H-TEG, for representation learning in low-rank constrained Markov Decision Processes (CMDPs) with continuous state spaces. REP-PD-TEG addresses the soft cumulative-violation setting by learning transition features through maximum likelihood and then planning with an optimistic Lagrangian objective, achieving optimal regret bounds. For stricter hard cumulative violations, REP-PD-H-TEG employs a bonus-corrected lower-confidence utility certificate and a stabilized dual search to ensure feasibility episode by episode while providing regret and hard-violation bounds. These methods represent the first theoretically guaranteed approaches for low-rank continuous-state CMDPs that offer both soft cumulative guarantees and certified hard-violation control. AI
