2. 核心功能实现

2.1 MDP建模

import numpy as np class MarkovDecisionProcess: def __init__(self, states, actions, transition_prob, reward, gamma=0.99): self.states = states self.actions = actions self.transition_prob = transition_prob self.reward = reward self.gamma = gamma def get_next_state(self, state, action): probs = self.transition_prob[state][action] return np.random.choice(self.states, p=probs) def get_reward(self, state, action, next_state): return self.reward[state][action][next_state] def step(self, state, action): next_state = self.get_next_state(state, action) reward = self.get_reward(state, action, next_state) done = self._is_terminal(next_state) return next_state, reward, done def _is_terminal(self, state): return state == 'terminal' class GridWorldMDP(MarkovDecisionProcess): def __init__(self, grid_size=4): self.grid_size = grid_size states = [(i, j) for i in range(grid_size) for j in range(grid_size)] actions = ['up', 'down', 'left', 'right'] super().__init__(states, actions, self._build_transition(), self._build_reward()) def _build_transition(self): transition = {} for state in self.states: transition[state] = {} for action in self.actions: transition[state][action] = self._get_transition_probs(state, action) return transition def _get_transition_probs(self, state, action): probs = {s: 0.0 for s in self.states} next_state = self._get_next_state(state, action) if next_state in self.states: probs[next_state] = 1.0 return probs def _get_next_state(self, state, action): i, j = state if action == 'up': return (max(0, i-1), j) elif action == 'down': return (min(self.grid_size-1, i+1), j) elif action == 'left': return (i, max(0, j-1)) elif action == 'right': return (i, min(self.grid_size-1, j+1)) def _build_reward(self): reward = {} for state in self.states: reward[state] = {} for action in self.actions: reward[state][action] = {} for next_state in self.states: if next_state == (3, 3): reward[state][action][next_state] = 100 else: reward[state][action][next_state] = -1 return reward

2.2 值函数计算

class ValueFunction: def __init__(self, mdp): self.mdp = mdp self.values = {s: 0.0 for s in mdp.states} def compute_bellman_equation(self, state): value = 0 for action in self.mdp.actions: action_value = 0 for next_state in self.mdp.states: prob = self.mdp.transition_prob[state][action].get(next_state, 0) reward = self.mdp.get_reward(state, action, next_state) action_value += prob * (reward + self.mdp.gamma * self.values[next_state]) value = max(value, action_value) return value def value_iteration(self, threshold=1e-6): while True: delta = 0 for state in self.mdp.states: old_value = self.values[state] self.values[state] = self.compute_bellman_equation(state) delta = max(delta, abs(old_value - self.values[state])) if delta < threshold: break def get_action_value(self, state, action): value = 0 for next_state in self.mdp.states: prob = self.mdp.transition_prob[state][action].get(next_state, 0) reward = self.mdp.get_reward(state, action, next_state) value += prob * (reward + self.mdp.gamma * self.values[next_state]) return value

2.3 策略提取

class Policy: def __init__(self, mdp): self.mdp = mdp self.policy = {s: self.mdp.actions[0] for s in mdp.states} def extract_policy(self, value_function): for state in self.mdp.states: best_action = None best_value = float('-inf') for action in self.mdp.actions: action_value = value_function.get_action_value(state, action) if action_value > best_value: best_value = action_value best_action = action self.policy[state] = best_action def get_action(self, state): return self.policy[state] def evaluate(self, episodes=100): total_reward = 0 for _ in range(episodes): state = self.mdp.states[0] episode_reward = 0 while state != 'terminal': action = self.get_action(state) state, reward, done = self.mdp.step(state, action) episode_reward += reward if done: break total_reward += episode_reward return total_reward / episodes

4.1 MDP建模技巧

def create_mdp_from_environment(env): states = env.get_states() actions = env.get_actions() transition = {} reward = {} for state in states: transition[state] = {} for action in actions: transition[state][action] = env.get_transition_probs(state, action) reward[state][action] = env.get_reward_function(state, action) return MarkovDecisionProcess(states, actions, transition, reward) class MDPFactory: @staticmethod def create(config): if config['type'] == 'grid_world': return GridWorldMDP(config.get('size', 4)) else: return MarkovDecisionProcess(**config)

4.2 值迭代优化

class ValueIterationOptimizer: def __init__(self, mdp): self.mdp = mdp def optimize(self, threshold=1e-6, max_iterations=1000): values = {s: 0.0 for s in self.mdp.states} for _ in range(max_iterations): delta = 0 for state in self.mdp.states: old_value = values[state] values[state] = self._bellman_update(state, values) delta = max(delta, abs(old_value - values[state])) if delta < threshold: break return values def _bellman_update(self, state, values): return max([ sum([ prob * (self.mdp.get_reward(state, action, next_state) + self.mdp.gamma * values[next_state]) for next_state, prob in self.mdp.transition_prob[state][action].items() ]) for action in self.mdp.actions ])

5. 总结

马尔可夫决策过程是强化学习的基础：

1. MDP建模：定义状态、动作、转移和奖励
2. 值迭代：计算最优值函数
3. 策略提取：从值函数提取最优策略
4. 关键参数：折扣因子影响远期考虑

对比数据如下：

• 值迭代需要足够迭代次数才能收敛
• 折扣因子γ=0.99是常用选择
• 状态空间大小影响计算复杂度
• 推荐使用值迭代求解小型MDP
