The theoretical foundations of the PPO-Clip algorithm are advanced by analyzing a deterministic actor-only PPO algorithm within the general RL setting with \(f\)-divergence regularization under the softmax policy parameterization and derive a non-uniform Lipschitz smoothness condition and aojasiewicz inequality for the...
Unit excitation (UE) is a common assumption in stochastic saddle avoidance: the stochastic error must have a uniformly positive component along every direction, in expectation. This condition gives a direct way to rule out convergence to strict saddles, but it also oversimplifies the actual noise structure, and does no...
