"Solving Stochastic Dynamic Programming Problems: A Mixed Complementarity Approach"
by Chang, Wonjun and Thomas Rutherford


Abstract
We present a mixed complementarity problem (MCP) formulation of infinite horizon dynamic programming (DP) problems with continuous state space. The MCP approach replaces conventional value function iteration by the solution of a one-shot square system of equations and inequalities. Three numerical examples illustrate our approach and demonstrate that the DP-MCP algorithm can compute equilibria much faster than traditional value iteration. In addition, the MCP approach accommodates corner solutions in the optimal policy.
