In this article, we consider a cooperative control problem involving a heterogeneous network of dynamically decoupled continuous-time linear plants. The (output-feedback) controllers for each plant may communicate with each other according…
This paper proposes a novel approach to resilient distributed optimization with quadratic costs in a networked control system (e.g., wireless sensor network, power grid, robotic team) prone to external attacks (e.g., hacking, power outage)…
In this paper, we consider a distributed online convex optimization problem over a time-varying multi-agent network. The goal of this network is to minimize a global loss function through local computation and communication with neighbors.…
We study the distributed Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control problem in discrete-time and finite-horizon, where the controller depends linearly on the history of the outputs and it is required to lie in a given subspace, e.g. to possess…
We consider distributed online learning for joint regret with communication constraints. In this setting, there are multiple agents that are connected in a graph. Each round, an adversary first activates one of the agents to issue a…
We study the discrete-time linear-quadratic (LQ) control model using reinforcement learning (RL). Using entropy to measure the cost of exploration, we prove that the optimal feedback policy for the problem must be Gaussian type. Then, we…
TWe establish regret lower bounds for adaptively controlling an unknown linear Gaussian system with quadratic costs. We combine ideas from experiment design, estimation theory and a perturbation bound of certain information matrices to…
Direct data-driven design methods for the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) mainly use offline or episodic data batches, and their online adaptation has been acknowledged as an open problem. In this paper, we propose a direct adaptive method…
This paper considers distributed online nonconvex optimization with time-varying inequality constraints over a network of agents, where the nonconvex local loss and convex local constraint functions can vary arbitrarily across iterations.…
We study the time-inconsistent linear quadratic optimal control problem for forward-backward stochastic differential equations with potentially indefinite cost weighting matrices for both the state and the control variables. Our research…
Formation control problems can be expressed as linear quadratic discrete-time games (LQDTG) for which Nash equilibrium solutions are sought. However, solving such problems requires solving coupled Riccati equations, which cannot be done in…
The distributed optimal synchronization problem with linear quadratic cost is solved in this paper for multi-agent systems with an undirected communication topology. For the first time, the optimal synchronization problem is formulated as a…
This paper focuses on adaptive control of the discrete-time linear quadratic regulator (adaptive LQR). Recent literature has made significant contributions in proving non-asymptotic convergence rates, but existing approaches have a few…
This paper investigates the problem of controlling a linear system under possibly unbounded stochastic noise with unknown convex cost functions, known as an online control problem. In contrast to the existing work, which assumes the…
The problem of regret minimization for online adaptive control of linear-quadratic systems is studied. In this problem, the true system transition parameters (matrices $A$ and $B$) are unknown, and the objective is to design and analyze…
This paper introduces and analyzes an improved Q-learning algorithm for discrete-time linear time-invariant systems. The proposed method does not require any knowledge of the system dynamics, and it enjoys significant efficiency advantages…
Consider a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problem being solved in a model-free manner using the policy gradient approach. If the gradient of the quadratic cost is being transmitted across a rate-limited channel, both the convergence and…
We analyze offline designs of linear quadratic regulator (LQR) strategies with uncertain disturbances. First, we consider the scenario where the exogenous variable can be estimated in a controlled environment, and subsequently, consider a…
We propose a methodology for performing risk-averse quadratic regulation of partially observed Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) systems disturbed by process and output noise. To compensate against the induced variability due to both types of…
In this paper we address the problem of information-constrained optimal control for an interconnected system subject to one-step communication delays and power constraints. The goal is to minimize a finite-horizon quadratic cost by…
