The Value Function Semi-Algebraic Set in Partially Observ...

We study the geometry of feasible value functions in infinite-horizon partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) under memoryless stochastic policies. Our main contribution is a characterization of the feasible set of value functions as a semi-algebraic set, defined by explicit polynomial inequalities determined by the transition dynamics, observation kernel, and reward structure of the POMDP. This result extends prior work for fully observable Markov decision processes, where the feasible set is known to be a polytope, to the substantially more intricate partially observable setting. In contrast to the polyhedral structure arising in MDPs, partial observability induces fundamentally nonlinear constraints, leading to a richer and more complex geometric structure. Our geometric characterization provides new insight into the landscape of policy optimization in both MDPs and POMDPs, and reveals qualitative phenomena unique to partial observability, including the emergence of isolated local maximizers of the long-term reward and their dependence on the initial state distribution.
