Intelligent Systems Reinforcement Learning and Dynamic Programming Using Function Approximators Lucian Busoniu, Robert Babuska, Bart De Schutter, and Damien Ernst Series: Automation and Control Engineering

Dynamic programming (DP) has been useful in solving system control problems, but its value has been limited by its requirement of algorithms that lacked practical scale-up capacity. However, recent developments in DP's model-free counterpart, reinforcement learning (RL), are helping to solve that problem. With a focus on continuous-variable problems, this book introduces classical RL and DP, including methods with approximation.

Combining algorithm development with theoretical guarantees, it offers illustrative examples that readers can adapt to their own work.
