Upper bounds of alpha vectors

QMDP and FIB represents an upper bound of the true optimal alpha vector values.

• QMDP
• Fast Informed Bound

FIB is a generally lower bound than QMDP.

Lower bounds of alpha vectors

BAWS and blind lower bound represents

Faster:

• best-action worst-state
• blind lower bound

Slower:

• Point-Based Value Iteration
  • “Perseus”: Randomized PBVI
• HSVI
• SARSOP
