Transform Discontinuous Function into Differentiable Function

A discrete independent variable leads to a discontinuous function. A infinitesimal change in the independent variable causes the dependent variable to switch from one variable to another. This means that the value of the policy may also change discontinuously, which makes gradient-based search difficult.
