Poisson Equations, Lipschitz Continuity and Controlled Queues

Abstract: The objective of the paper is to revisit a key mathematical technology within the theory of stochastic approximation in a Markovian framework, elaborated in detail by Benveniste, M'etivier, and Priouret (1990): the existence, uniqueness and Lipschitz continuity of the solutions of a parameter-dependent Poisson equation associated with a collection of Markov chains on general state spaces. The setup and the methodology of our investigation is based on an elegant stability theory for Markov chains, developed by Hairer and Mattingly (2011). The paper provides a transparent analysis of parameter-dependent Poisson equations with convenient conditions. The validity of the proposed conditions is verified for a class of controlled queues.
