New Q-value iteration analysis uses switching geometry

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This paper introduces a new framework for analyzing Q-value iteration in Markov decision processes, focusing on a technique called rank-one deflation. The authors interpret the algorithm's behavior through the geometry of switching systems, providing a novel JSR-based convergence analysis. Their findings suggest that deflation offers a more precise characterization of convergence rates by removing a redundant component, without altering the fundamental decision-making problem or the resulting policy sequence.

    Switching-Geometry Analysis of Deflated Q-Value Iteration

    This paper develops a joint spectral radius (JSR) framework for analyzing rank-one deflated Q-value iteration (Q-VI) in discounted Markov decision process control. Focusing on an all-ones residual correction, we interpret the resulting algorithm through the geometry of switching …
