Abstract

In this work, we show existence of invariant ergodic measure for switched linear dynamical systems (SLDSs) under a norm-stability assumption of system dynamics in some unbounded subset of Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}. Consequently, given a stationary Markov control policy, we derive non-asymptotic bounds for learning expected reward (w.r.t the invariant ergodic measure our closed-loop system mixes to) from time-averages using Birkhoff's Ergodic Theorem. The presented results provide a foundation for deriving non-asymptotic analysis for average reward-based optimal control of SLDSs. Finally, we illustrate the presented theoretical results in two case-studies.
