This work focuses on the basic stochastic decomposition (SD) algorithm of Higle and Sen [J.L. Higle, S. Sen, Stochastic Decomposition, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1996] for two-st...
In this paper, we address two issues of long-standing interest in the reinforcement learning literature. First, what kinds of performance guarantees can be made for Q-learning aft...
