2.2 Accelerated rate for Bellman optimality opera

We now present the accelerated convergence rate of Anc-VI for the Bellman optimality operator. Our analysis uses what we call the Bellman anti-optimality operator, define

\

\ Anc-VI with the Bellman optimality operator exhibits the same accelerated convergence rate as Anc-VI with the Bellman consistency operator. As in Theorem 1, the rate of Theorem 2 also becomes O(1/k) when γ ≈ 1, while VI has a O(1)-rate.

\ Proof outline of Theorem 2. The key technical challenge of the proof comes from the fact that the Bellman optimality operator is non-linear. Similar to the Bellman consistency operator case, we have
