Four Hypotheses

(c.1)(c.1) (“Compactness” of Action constraint set)

Each action constraint set SiS^{i} (i∈Ni\in\mathcal{N}) is a closed and bounded subset of the action space Ui\mathbb{U}^{i} (i∈Ni\in\mathcal{N}) which is itself a finite dimensional vector space.

(c.2)(c.2) (Lower semicontinuity of LL)

L(ξ,u1,…,uN)L(\xi,u^{1},\dots,u^{N}) is a.s. jointly lsc in (u1,…,uN)=:u(u^{1},\dots,u^{N})=:\mathbf{u} on U:=U1×⋯×UN\mathbf{U}:=\mathbb{U}^{1}\times\dots \times \mathbb{U}^{N};

(c.3)(c.3) (Measurement set is finite + each measurement has positive probability)

Each measurement set Yi,i∈N\mathbb{Y}^{i},i\in\mathcal{N} is finite, with no element receiving zero probability from the probability measure PP; or equivalently, for each i∈Ni\in\mathcal{N}, the partition set Yi\mathbf{Y}^{i} has a finite number of elements, with each element receiving positive probability from PP;

(c.4)(c.4) (LL has a minimum and LL is integrable)

L(ξ,u1,…,uN)L(\xi,u^{1},\dots,u^{N}) is bounded from below, and Eξ∣yi[L(ξ;u1,…,uN)]E_{\xi|y^{i}}[L(\xi;u^{1},\dots,u^{N})] is finite for every yi∈Yi,uj∈Uj,i,j∈Ny^{i}\in\mathbb{Y}^{i},u^{j}\in\mathbb{U}^{j},i,j\in\mathcal{N}.

Remark

Note that under finite spaces (c.1)(c.1) implies our policy space Γ\mathbf{\Gamma} is compact which already gives us half of the Weierstrass Theorem.
