To avoid the curse of dimensionality, function approximators are used in reinforcement learning to learn value functions for individual states. In order to make better use of comp...
Reinforcement learning promises a generic method for adapting agents to arbitrary tasks in arbitrary stochastic environments, but applying it to new real-world problems remains di...

Synchronous reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms with linear function approximation are representable as inhomogeneous matrix iterations of a special form (Schoknecht & Merk...
We describe the Fourier Basis, a linear value function approximation scheme based on the Fourier Series. We empirically evaluate its properties, and demonstrate that it performs w...
