We investigate team optimal control of stochastic subsystems that are weakly coupled in dynamics (through the mean-field of the system) and are arbitrary coupled in the cost. The controller of each subsystem observes its local state and the…

Most existing neural network-based approaches for solving stochastic optimal control problems using the associated backward dynamic programming principle rely on the ability to simulate the underlying state variables. However, in some…

Dynamical systems comprised of autonomous agents arise in many relevant problems such as multi-agent robotics, smart grids, or smart cities. Controlling these systems is of paramount importance to guarantee a successful deployment. Optimal…

A mean field feedback artificial neural network algorithm is developed and explored for the set covering problem. A convenient encoding of the inequality constraints is achieved by means of a multilinear penalty function. An approximate…

We develop an exhaustive study of Markov decision process (MDP) under mean field interaction both on states and actions in the presence of common noise, and when optimization is performed over open-loop controls on infinite horizon. Such…

Crowdsourcing systems enable us to collect large-scale dataset, but inherently suffer from noisy labels of low-paid workers. We address the inference and learning problems using such a crowdsourced dataset with noise. Due to the nature of…

Coordinating large populations of autonomous agents, such as UAV swarms or satellite constellations, poses significant computational challenges for traditional multi-agent control methods. This paper introduces a new optimization framework…

In this manuscript, we study a class of linear-quadratic (LQ) mean field control problems with a common noise and their corresponding $N$-particle systems. The mean field control problems considered are not standard LQ mean field control…

Attempts from different disciplines to provide a fundamental understanding of deep learning have advanced rapidly in recent years, yet a unified framework remains relatively limited. In this article, we provide one possible way to align…

We propose two algorithms for the solution of the optimal control of ergodic McKean-Vlasov dynamics. Both algorithms are based on approximations of the theoretical solutions by neural networks, the latter being characterized by their…

In this paper, we study a regularised relaxed optimal control problem and, in particular, we are concerned with the case where the control variable is of large dimension. We introduce a system of mean-field Langevin equations, the invariant…

This paper, the second of a two-part series, presents a method for mean-field feedback stabilization of a swarm of agents on a finite state space whose time evolution is modeled as a continuous time Markov chain (CTMC). The resulting…

This paper is concerned with uniform stabilization and social optimality for general mean field linear quadratic control systems, where subsystems are coupled via individual dynamics and costs, and the state weight is not assumed with the…

As it stands, a robust mathematical framework to analyse and study various topics in deep learning is yet to come to the fore. Nonetheless, viewing deep learning as a dynamical system allows the use of established theories to investigate…

Motivated by recent interest in graphon mean field games and their applications, this paper provides a comprehensive probabilistic analysis of graphon mean field control (GMFC) problems, where the controlled dynamics are governed by a…

Deep learning is formulated as a discrete-time optimal control problem. This allows one to characterize necessary conditions for optimality and develop training algorithms that do not rely on gradients with respect to the trainable…

We consider mean-field control problems in discrete time with discounted reward, infinite time horizon and compact state and action space. The existence of optimal policies is shown and the limiting mean-field problem is derived when the…

For noncooperative games the mean field (MF) methodology provides decentralized strategies which yield Nash equilibria for large population systems in the asymptotic limit of an infinite (mass) population. The MF control laws use only the…

We establish the convergence of the unified two-timescale Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithm presented in a previous work by Angiuli et al. This algorithm provides solutions to Mean Field Game (MFG) or Mean Field Control (MFC) problems…

This paper studies the continuous-time q-learning in mean-field jump-diffusion models when the population distribution is not directly observable. We propose the integrated q-function in decoupled form (decoupled Iq-function) from the…
