Flow $Q$-learning has recently been introduced to integrate learning from expert demonstrations into an actor-critic structure. Central to this innovation is the ``the one-step policy'' network, which is optimized through a $Q$-function…

As the benchmark of data-driven control methods, the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problem has gained significant attention. A growing trend is direct LQR design, which finds the optimal LQR gain directly from raw data and bypassing…

The principal task to control dynamical systems is to ensure their stability. When the system is unknown, robust approaches are promising since they aim to stabilize a large set of plausible systems simultaneously. We study linear…
