| Abstract
| - This paper provides a Central Limit Theorem (CLT) for a process { θn, n ≥ 0} satisfying a stochastic approximation (SA) equation of the form θn + 1 = θn + γn + 1 H( θn,Xn + 1 ) ; a CLT for the associated average sequence is also established. The originality of this paper is to address the case of controlled Markov chain dynamics { Xn, n ≥ 0} and the case of multiple targets. The framework also accomodates (randomly) truncated SA algorithms. Sufficient conditions for CLT’s hold are provided as well as comments on how these conditions extend previous works (such as independent and identically distributed dynamics, the Robbins−Monro dynamic or the single target case). The paper gives a special emphasis on how these conditions hold for SA with controlled Markov chain dynamics and multiple targets; it is proved that this paper improves on existing works.
