Initial state How things are at first. In your particular example, it would be where your k knights are placed on the board initially. Your problem doesn't precisely state this, so you could either place them at the bottom or at random. Goal state The board with the k knights placed on the target squares. State transition function A function that takes ...

Your equations all look correct to me. It is not possible to solve the linear equation for state values in the vector $V$ without knowing the policy. There are ways of working with MDPs, through sampling of actions, state transitions and rewards, where it is possible to estimate value functions without knowing either $\pi(a|s)$ or $P^{a}_{ss'}$. For instance,...

I assume you use the 12 discrete features as state variables, and, for each of these variables, you will have at least two values. So, the minimum number of states will be $2^{12} = 4096$, which gives $(2^{12})^{2} = 16777216$ possible transitions. In order to reach this, you will need a huge amount of simulations, also taking into account that this number ...
