We propose SmoothCruiser, a new planning algorithm for estimating the value function in entropy-regularized Markov decision processes and two-player games, given a generative model of the environment. SmoothCruiser makes use of the smoothness of the Bellman operator promoted by the regularization to achieve problem-independent sample complexity of order O~(1/epsilon^4) for a desired accuracy epsilon, whereas for non-regularized settings there are no known algorithms with guaranteed polynomial sample complexity in the worst case.
