Two Timescale Stochastic Approximation with Controlled Markov noise and Off-policy temporal difference learning. (arXiv:1503.09105v3 [math.DS] UPDATED)

We present for the first time an asymptotic convergence analysis of two-timescale stochastic approximation driven by controlled Markov noise. In particular, both the faster and slower recursions have non-additive Markov noise components in addition to martingale difference noise. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of our framework by relating it to limiting differential inclusions in both time-scales that are defined in terms of the invariant probability measures associated with the controlled Markov processes. Finally, we show how to solve the off-policy convergence problem for temporal difference learning with linear function approximation using our results.
