The paper presents time‑uniform self‑normalized concentration bounds for stochastic processes in Hilbert spaces with vector‑valued noise, enabling regression‑error guarantees for both linear and nonlinear parametric operators. These results apply to possibly infinite‑dimensional inputs and outputs without requiring independence or mixing assumptions, and are derived in the context of sequentially collected, dependent data such as adaptive experimental design and dynamical‑system modelling.

arXiv:2606. 16729v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While there is an extensive body of work characterizing the sample complexity of discounted cumulative-reward MDPs, finite sample analyses for average-reward MDPs have been limited, and most existing works rely on restrictive assumptions such as ergodicity or access to a generative model.

arXiv:2603. 23461v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study reinforcement learning (RL) with linear function approximation in Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) satisfying \emph{linear Bellman completeness} -- a fundamental setting where the Bellman backup of any linear value function remains linear.

We consider the problem of sampling compositional and discrete objects from a given unnormalized posterior distribution. Notably, recent studies have shown that this problem can be efficiently solved by learning a deterministic Markov Decision Process (MDP) that progressively builds each object in proportion to the posterior.
