Point-Based POMDP Algorithms: Improved Analysis and Implementation
  Existing complexity bounds for point-based POMDP value iteration algorithms
focus either on the curse of dimensionality or the curse of history. We derive
a new bound that relies on both and uses the concept of discounted
reachability; our conclusions may help guide future algorithm design. We also
discuss recent improvements to our (point-based) heuristic search value
iteration algorithm. Our new implementation calculates tighter initial bounds,
avoids solving linear programs, and makes more effective use of sparsity.
