Abstract

The Kumar-Becker-Lin scheme introduces a slowly vanishing cost bias in the parameter estimation part of self-tuning control in order to improve its performance. This paper establishes the a.s. optimality of a variant of this scheme for Markov chains on a countable state space when the action space is compact metric and the parameter space is a compact subset of R m .
