Finite-time analysis of Multi-timescale Stochastic Optimization Algorithms
Kaustubh Kartikey, Shalabh Bhatnagar
We present a finite-time analysis of two smoothed functional stochastic approximation algorithms for simulation-based optimization. The first is a two time-scale gradient-based met…

Finite Time Analysis of Constrained Natural Critic-Actor Algorithm with Improved Sample Complexity
Prashansa Panda, Shalabh Bhatnagar
Recent studies have increasingly focused on non-asymptotic convergence analyses for actor-critic (AC) algorithms. One such effort introduced a two-timescale critic-actor algorithm…
