Rates of Convergence of Performance Gradient Estimates Using Function Approximation and Bias in Reinforcement Learning
We address two open theoretical questions in Policy Gradient Reinforcement Learning. The first concerns the efficacy of using function approximation to represent the state action ...

The O.D.E. Method for Convergence of Stochastic Approximation and Reinforcement Learning
It is shown here that stability of the stochastic approximation algorithm is implied by the asymptotic stability of the origin for an associated ODE. This in turn implies convergen...

Convergence of synchronous reinforcement learning with linear function approximation
Synchronous reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms with linear function approximation are representable as inhomogeneous matrix iterations of a special form (Schoknecht & Merk...

Convergence and Divergence in Standard and Averaging Reinforcement Learning
Although tabular reinforcement learning (RL) methods have been proved to converge to an optimal policy, the combination of particular conventional reinforcement learning techniques...

Algorithm-Directed Exploration for Model-Based Reinforcement Learning in Factored MDPs
One of the central challenges in reinforcement learning is to balance the exploration/exploitation tradeoff while scaling up to large problems. Although model-based reinforcement ...
