What is recorded here?
Analyzed return-distribution Bellman operators and proposed a fixed-support categorical approximation for deep Q-learning, separating contractive policy evaluation from unstable greedy distributional control.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
Earlier work already studied return distributions. Under bounded-moment assumptions the fixed-policy operator contracts in maximal Wasserstein metrics; the control operator need not contract or even have a stable fixed point. These source theoretical statements are not neural C51 convergence or independently checked proofs.
