arXiv:2607. 28390v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Constrained Markov Decision Processes (CMDPs) provide a natural framework for reinforcement learning in safety-critical applications, where agents maximize long-term reward while satisfying long-term constraints.

arXiv:2606. 18111v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fairness is an important aspect of decision-making in multi-objective reinforcement learning (MORL), where policies must ensure both optimality and equity across multiple, potentially conflicting objectives.
