| contents | This paper employs a policy iteration reinforcement learning (RL) method to study continuous-time linear-quadratic mean-field control problems in infinite horizon. The drift and diffusion terms in the dynamics involve the states, the controls, and their conditional expectations. We investigate the stabilizability and convergence of the RL algorithm using a Lyapunov Recursion. Instead of solving a pair of coupled Riccati equations, the RL technique focuses on strengthening an auxiliary function and the cost functional as the objective functions and updating the new policy to compute the optimal control via state trajectories. A numerical example sheds light on the established theoretical results. |
