In this paper we propose an end-to-end algorithm for indirect data-driven control for bilinear systems with stability guarantees. We consider the case where the collected i.i.d. data is affected by probabilistic noise with possibly…

We propose a new monotonically convergent algorithm which can enforce spectral constraints on the control field (and extends to arbitrary filters). The procedure differs from standard algorithms in that at each iteration the control field…

Control of continuous time dynamics with multiplicative noise is a classic topic in stochastic optimal control. This work addresses the problem of designing infinite horizon optimal controls with stability guarantees for \textit{a single…

This paper considers a disturbance attenuation problem for a linear discrete time invariant system under random disturbances with imprecisely known probability distributions. The statistical uncertainty is measured in terms of relative…

For systems that are not observable at the very equilibrium of interest to be stabilized, output-feedback stabilization is considerably challenging. In this paper we solve this control problem for the case-study of a second-order system…

The paper addresses an existence problem for infinite horizon optimal control when the system under control is exponentially stabilizable or stable. Classes of nonlinear control systems for which infinite horizon optimal controls exist are…

We study an optimal distributed control problem associated to a stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation with a classical double-well potential and Wiener multiplicative noise, where the control is represented by a source-term in the definition of…

In this paper, a novel design scheme is introduced to solve the optimal control problem for nonlinear systems with unsymmetrical and state-dependent input constraints. By introducing an initial stabilizing control policy as the baseline of…

We study the problem of mixed $\mathit{H}_2/\mathit{H}_\infty$ control in the infinite-horizon setting. We identify the optimal causal controller that minimizes the $\mathit{H}_2$ cost of the closed-loop system subject to an…

This paper proposes a novel method for designing finite-horizon discrete-valued switching signals in linear switched systems based on discreteness-promoting regularization. The inherent combinatorial optimization problem is reformulated as…

This paper focuses on optimal control problem for a class of discrete-time nonlinear systems. In practical applications, computation time is a crucial consideration when solving nonlinear optimal control problems, especially under real-time…

Here we derive a nonsmooth maximum principle for optimal control problems with both state and mixed constraints. Crucial to our development is a convexity assumption on the "velocity set". The approach consists of applying known…

We present a stabilizing output-feedback controller for nonlinear finite and infinite-dimensional control systems governed by monotone operators that respects given input constraints. In particular, we show under a detectability-like…

The control of ensembles of dynamical systems is an intriguing and challenging problem, arising for example in quantum control. We initiate the investigation of optimal control of ensembles of discrete-time systems, focusing on minimising…

This paper presents an algorithm to solve non-convex optimal control problems, where non-convexity can arise from nonlinear dynamics, and non-convex state and control constraints. This paper assumes that the state and control constraints…

In this paper, we study robust distributed sub-optimal coordination of linear agents subject to input nonlinearities. Inspired by the robust agreement literature, we formulate a bounded distributed sub-optimal coordination problem, in which…

This paper is concerned with a finite-horizon inverse control problem, which has the goal of reconstructing, from observations, the possibly non-convex and non-stationary cost driving the actions of an agent. In this context, we present a…

In this paper a new framework has been applied to the design of controllers which encompasses nonlinearity, hysteresis and arbitrary density functions of forward models and inverse controllers. Using mixture density networks, the…

We consider a system that is exactly controllable. For given initial state, terminal state and objective function, an optimal control is often well-defined. Such an optimal control has the disadvantage that although it works perfectly well…

This paper addresses the problem of finite horizon constrained robust optimal control for nonlinear systems subject to norm-bounded disturbances. To this end, the underlying uncertain nonlinear system is decomposed based on a first-order…
