Lyapunov framework analyzes stochastic algorithm convergence

Researchers have published a paper detailing a Lyapunov-based framework for analyzing the finite-time convergence of stochastic iterative algorithms. This approach uses generalized Moreau envelopes as universal Lyapunov functions, applicable across various norms and noise types. The framework provides mean-square convergence guarantees and extends to algorithms like stochastic gradient descent and reinforcement learning methods such as Q-learning and temporal-difference learning.
