Abstract

Oberman gave a stochastic control formulation of the problem of estimating the convex envelope of a non-convex function. Based on this, we develop a reinforcement learning scheme to approximate the convex envelope, using a variant of Q-learning for controlled optimal stopping. It shows very promising results on a standard library of test problems.
