In this work, we study an LQG control system where one of two feedback channels is discrete and incurs a communication cost. We assume that a decoder (co-located with the controller) can make noiseless measurements of a subset of the state…

A Langevin equation with multiplicative noise is an equation schematically of the form dq/dt = -F(q) + e(q) xi, where e(q) xi is Gaussian white noise whose amplitude e(q) depends on q itself. Such equations are ambiguous, and depend on the…
