Abstraction-based branch and bound approach to Q-learning for hybrid optimal control

Optimization and Control 2020-11-24 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we design a theoretical framework allowing to apply model predictive control on hybrid systems. For this, we develop a theory of approximate dynamic programming by leveraging the concept of alternating simulation. We show how to combine these notions in a branch and bound algorithm that can further refine the Q-functions using Lagrangian duality. We illustrate the approach on a numerical example.
