We study the last iterate of standard tabular temporal-difference (TD) learning from a single trajectory of a finite Markov reward process. For discount factor $γ$, write $H=(1-γ)^{-1}$, and let $μ_{\...
arXiv:2608. 02034v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-step returns accelerate reward propagation in off-policy reinforcement learning, but couple the evaluation of each decision to the suboptimal logged actions that follow it, inducing a pessimistic bias that grows with the horizon.

arXiv:2605. 16103v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Q-learning is known to suffer from overestimation bias: because the Bellman update maximizes noisy or imperfect action-value estimates, positive errors can be selected and propagated, causing learned values to exceed the true optimal values.
