This paper delves into the theoretical underpinnings of stochastic optimal control in discrete time, proposing a novel dynamic programming framework. It introduces methods for estimating the value function using nonparametric regression within reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and Monte Carlo subsampling. The research focuses on analyzing how errors propagate backward through time, a less-explored area in the field, and demonstrates its application to pricing American options. AI
