A Strong Duality Result for Cooperative Decentralized Constrained POMDPs

The work studies cooperative decentralized constrained POMDPs with asymmetric information. Using an extension of Sion's Minimax theorem for functions with positive infinity and results on weak-convergence of measures, strong duality and existence of a saddle point are established for the setting of infinite-horizon expected total discounted costs when the observations lie in a countable space, the actions are chosen from a finite space, the immediate constraint costs are bounded, and the immediate objective cost is bounded from below.
