The paper introduces Exchange Policy Optimization (EPO), a framework for semi‑infinite safe reinforcement learning that handles infinitely many constraints by iteratively solving finite subproblems. EPO expands or deletes constraints based on tolerance violations and Lagrange multipliers, maintaining computational tractability while converging to an optimal policy with bounded safety violations. The authors prove finite convergence, provide iteration bounds, and quantify the suboptimality gap under mild assumptions.

AegisFlow is a training‑free framework that guides generative models, such as diffusion and flow matching, along safe paths by formulating the problem as a global optimal control task. It incorporates a time‑varying barrier function into the cost functional, enabling non‑myopic enforcement of constraints throughout the entire generative trajectory. Experiments show that AegisFlow outperforms existing methods in text‑guided image manipulation and robotic planning, achieving a better balance between target alignment and constraint satisfaction.

The paper proves that using a permissive safety filter in reinforcement learning does not compromise asymptotic performance. By formalizing safety through a safety‑critical Markov decision process and a filtered MDP, the authors show that optimal policies in the filtered MDP achieve the same return as the best safe policy in the original setting. Experiments on Safety Gymnasium confirm zero violations during training and performance that matches or exceeds unfiltered baselines.
