New research explores Bellman residual minimization for control tasks in reinforcement learning

This paper introduces foundational results for Bellman residual minimization applied to policy optimization in Markov decision problems. While dynamic programming is more common, Bellman residual minimization offers advantages like stable convergence with function approximation. The research focuses on extending this method to control tasks, which have been less explored than policy evaluation. AI

    Bellman Residual Minimization for Control: Geometry, Stationarity, and Convergence

    arXiv:2601.18840v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Markov decision problems are most commonly solved via dynamic programming. Another approach is Bellman residual minimization, which directly minimizes the squared Bellman residual objective function. However, compared to dynamic…
