Schwartz [106] examined the problem of adapting Q-learning to an average-reward framework. Although his R-learning algorithm seems to exhibit convergence problems for some MDPs, several researchers have found the average-reward criterion closer to the true problem they wish to solve than a discounted criterion and therefore prefer R-learning to Q-learning [69].
