The paper presents a convergence framework for deep $V$‑learning over a finite horizon $H$, deriving explicit bounds on policy loss by decomposing the Bellman update error into six residuals. It shows how $L^s$ concentrability controls expected $L^1$ loss, quantifies the impact of shared sampling across horizon levels, and provides optimal and near‑optimal sample allocations for statistical error rates. The work also establishes sharp action‑gap bounds under a margin condition, transfers optimal‑gap results to frozen‑iterate gaps, and offers consistency guarantees for generative‑reset approximate‑ERM procedures with exact action scores.

Abstract: Constrained multi-agent control requires more than predicting rewarding actions: an action can cease to be executable as contact windows, shared capaci...

The paper introduces Network Feasibility Geometry Reinforcement Learning (NFG‑RL), a method that enforces multi‑layer network constraints—such as interference, power‑rate coupling, flow conservation, service chains, capacity, latency, and reliability—by transporting a proto‑policy through a differentiable feasibility map. By compiling heterogeneous constraints into typed residual blocks and using a variational transport operator, NFG‑RL ensures almost‑sure feasible execution and shapes exploration and gradients to respect active constraints. Experiments on two wireless‑edge surrogate environments show that NFG‑RL boosts feasible utility by 37.5–41.5 %, cuts raw‑action violations by 48.5–60.8 %, and reduces P99 delay by 57.0–75.5 % compared to leading baselines.

arXiv:2608. 10441v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many pipelines can pay a per-example cost to acquire an auxiliary, model-derived observation -- an LLM's structured reasoning, a slow oracle, an expensive measurement -- and then must decide when the acquired signal is worth using.
