Researchers have developed a novel theoretical framework for analyzing Q-learning, a fundamental algorithm in reinforcement learning. This new approach views Q-learning through the lens of switching systems, deriving a direct stochastic representation of the Q-learning error. The analysis yields convergence rates expressed through the joint spectral radius of a direct switching family, offering tighter bounds than previous methods. AI
