摘要
We consider a risk-sensitive continuous-time Markov decision process over a finite time duration. Under the conditions that can be satisfied by unbounded transition and cost rates, we show the existence of an optimal policy, and the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the optimality equation out of a class of possibly unbounded functions, to which the Feynman-Kac formula was also justified to hold.
