arXiv:2606. 28671v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Stackelberg differential games (SDGs) provide a powerful framework for hierarchical decision-making in stochastic and continuous-time environments, yet their solution remains computationally challenging due to the complexity of traditional dynamic programming and Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs (HJBI) methods, especially in high-dimensional systems.

arXiv:2607. 03168v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Entropy regularization is widely used in continuous-time reinforcement learning (RL) to reduce sensitivity to environmental perturbations, yet its robustness benefits lack a rigorous theoretical foundation.

arXiv:2606. 04275v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a novel theoretical framework for deep reinforcement learning (RL) in continuous environments by modeling the problem as a continuous-time stochastic process, drawing on insights from stochastic control.

In this paper, we present a generalized temporal-difference (TD) reinforcement learning framework based on the theory of conditional expectations. The value and action-value (Q-value) functions are treated as uncertain quantities, and their estimation is formulated as a stochastic inference problem.
arXiv:2506. 08121v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce a continuous policy-value iteration algorithm where the approximations of the value function of a stochastic control problem and the optimal control are simultaneously updated through Langevin-type dynamics.
