Abstract: In this paper, we present a new monotone approximation of a given real-valued Carathéodory function on the product ${X}\times{A}$ of Borel spaces, where $A$ is also compact. We demonstrate its application by providing a self-contained and elementary proof of a result of A. Nowak in discrete-time Markov decision processes.

Keywords: Carathéodory function, Markov decision processes, monotone approximation.
