contents We propose an actor-critic framework to solve the time-continuous stochastic optimal control problem. A least square temporal difference method is applied to compute the value function for the critic. The policy gradient method is implemented as policy improvement for the actor. Our key contribution lies in establishing a linear rate of convergence for our proposed actor-critic flow. Theoretical findings are further validated through numerical examples, showing the efficacy of our approach in practical applications.
