Clarification of the definition of a POMDP
The availability of action $ a $ can be understood as $P_a(u, v) > 0$ for some $ v $
If an action $ a $ is not available in $ u $ then it will have not effect, this means that $P_a(u, v) = 0 $ for ...

What is a distributed algorithm for generating random "private" pair-matchings?
Let's assume the agents are labeled $[0, n)$. Let $w > 2$ be a small constant, e.g. 4. Let $F_k(x)$ be an oblivious pseudo-random function (OPRF).
Let each agent generate random value $s_i$, ...
