We present the laboratory verification of a method for re- moving the effects of frozen-flow atmospheric turbulence using a Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller, also known as a Kalman Filter. This method, which we term "Predictive…

We present and solve a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) for the boundary control of the beam equation. We use the simple technique of completing the square to get an explicit solution. By decoupling the spatial frequencies we are able to…

This paper studies the partially observed stochastic optimal control problem for systems with state dynamics governed by Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) that leads to an extremely large problem. First, an open-loop deterministic…

This paper presents a sample-efficient, data-driven control framework for finite-horizon linear quadratic (LQ) control of linear time-varying (LTV) systems. In contrast to the time-invariant case, the time-varying LQ problem involves a…

In this two-part paper, we identify a broad class of decentralized output-feedback LQG systems for which the optimal control strategies have a simple intuitive estimation structure and can be computed efficiently. Roughly, we consider the…

We study a signature-driven numerical scheme to solve multi-dimensional linear-quadratic (LQ) stochastic control problems. Using that linear signature functionals are dense in the natural class of admissible controls, we show that our…

Over the past decades, the Koopman operator has been widely applied in data-driven control, yet its theoretical foundations remain underexplored. This paper establishes a unified framework to address the robust stabilization problem in…

This paper describes the design of a linear quadratic gaussian (LQG) for trajectory tracking control of UAV Bicopter. In this work, disturbance in the form of payload significantly affects the trajectory tracking control process on the UAV…

As the penetration of intermittent energy sources grows substantially, loads will be required to play an increasingly important role in compensating the fast time-scale fluctuations in generated power. Recent numerical modeling of…

Koopman operator-based methods enable data-driven bilinear representations of unknown nonlinear control systems. Accurate representations often demand significantly higher dimensions than the original system, making control design…

Policy gradient methods are a powerful family of reinforcement learning algorithms for continuous control that optimize a policy directly. However, standard first-order methods often converge slowly. Second-order methods can accelerate…

This paper considers a risk-sensitive optimal control problem for a field-mediated interconnection of a quantum plant with a coherent (measurement-free) quantum controller. The plant and the controller are multimode open quantum harmonic…

This is a draft paper originally posted on Arxiv as a documentation of a plenary lecture at CDC2023. The core material has been accepted for publication at L4DC 2024. Certainty equivalence adaptive controllers are analysed using a…

We investigate exploratory randomization for an extended linear-exponential-quadratic-Gaussian (LEQG) control problem in discrete time. This extended control problem is related to the structure of risk-sensitive investment management…

This paper studies several problems related to quadratic matrix inequalities (QMI's), i.e., inequalities in the Loewner order involving quadratic functions of matrix variables. In particular, we provide conditions under which the solution…

This paper is concerned with linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) control for a field-mediated feedback connection of a plant and a coherent (measurement-free) controller. Both the plant and the controller are multimode open quantum harmonic…

A recently developed data-driven Kalman filter requires offline measurement of the process disturbance; a requirement that is often unmet for many practical applications. We propose a solution that parametrizes the Kalman filter exclusively…

We consider the Linear-Quadratic-Regulator (LQR) problem in terms of optimizing a real-valued matrix function over the set of feedback gains. Such a setup facilitates examining the implications of a natural initial-state independent…

The linear quadratic regulator problem is central in optimal control and was investigated since the very beginning of control theory. Nevertheless, when it includes affine state constraints, it remains very challenging from the classical…

Motivated by recent advances of reinforcement learning and direct data-driven control, we propose policy gradient adaptive control (PGAC) for the linear quadratic regulator (LQR), which uses online closed-loop data to improve the control…
