On the instability of local learning algorithms: Q-learning can fail in infinite state spaces
Urtzi Ayesta, Sergey Foss, Matthieu Jonckheere +1
We investigate the challenges of applying model-free reinforcement learning algorithms, like online Q-learning, to infinite state space Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). We first i…

Heavy-tail asymptotics for the length of a busy period in a Generalised Jackson Network
Sergey Foss, Masakiyo Miyazawa, Linglong Yuan
We consider a Generalised Jackson Network with finitely many servers, a renewal input and service times at each queue. We assume the network to be stable and, in addition,…
