Howard’s algorithm
is a fifty-year old generally applicable algorithm for sequential decision making in face of uncertainty. It is routinely used in practice in numerous application areas that are so important that they usually go by their acronyms, e.g., OR, AI, and CAV. While Howard’s algorithm is generally recognized as fast in practice, until recently, its worst case time complexity was poorly understood. However, a surge of results since 2009 has led us to a much more satisfactory understanding of the worst case time complexity of the algorithm in the various settings in which it applies. In this talk, we shall survey these recent results and the open problems that remains.
