This paper studies a class of continuous-time scalar-state stochastic Linear-Quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem with the linear control constraints. Applying the state separation theorem induced from its special structure, we develop…
This paper considers the linear-quadratic dual control problem where the system parameters need to be identified and the control objective needs to be optimized in the meantime. Contrary to existing works on data-driven linear-quadratic…
The convergence of policy gradient algorithms in reinforcement learning hinges on the optimization landscape of the underlying optimal control problem. Theoretical insights into these algorithms can often be acquired from analyzing those of…
Consider a distributed control problem with a communication channel connecting the observer of a linear stochastic system to the controller. The goal of the controller is to minimize a quadratic cost function in the state variables and…
As it is popular known, Riccati equation is the key basic tool for optimal control in the modern control theory. The solvability conditions of optimal control, stabilization conditions and controller design are all based on the Riccati…
We present a sample-based Learning Model Predictive Controller (LMPC) for constrained uncertain linear systems subject to bounded additive disturbances. The proposed controller builds on earlier work on LMPC for deterministic systems.…
Current research suggests the use of a liner quadratic performance index for optimal control of regulators in various applications. Some examples include correcting the trajectory of rocket and air vehicles, vibration suppression of…
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 computational framework for replacing the repeated numerical solution of differential Riccati equations in finite-horizon Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) problems by a learned operator surrogate. Instead of solving a nonlinear…
Conformal risk control (CRC) provides distribution-free guarantees for controlling the expected loss at a user-specified level. Existing theory typically assumes that the loss decreases monotonically with a tuning parameter that governs the…
In this paper, we study a transfer learning framework for Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control, where (i) the dynamics of the system of interest (target system) are unknown and only a short trajectory of impulse responses from the…
In this paper, we consider a discrete-time stochastic control problem with uncertain initial and target states. We first discuss the connection between optimal transport and stochastic control problems of this form. Next, we formulate a…
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…
Reinforcement learning (RL) has been successfully used to solve many continuous control tasks. Despite its impressive results however, fundamental questions regarding the sample complexity of RL on continuous problems remain open. We study…
We study online linear-quadratic regulation (LQR) with unknown dynamics under communication rate constraints. Classical networked control quantizes the plant state at every time step, requiring $O(T)$ total bits while injecting persistent…
It is well known that highly volatile control laws, while theoretically optimal for certain systems, are undesirable from an engineering perspective, being generally deleterious to the controlled system. In this article we are concerned…
Online optimization has recently opened avenues to study optimal control for time-varying cost functions that are unknown in advance. Inspired by this line of research, we study the distributed online linear quadratic regulator (LQR)…
This paper addresses the end-to-end sample complexity bound for learning the H2 optimal controller (the Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) problem) with unknown dynamics, for potentially unstable Linear Time Invariant (LTI) systems. The robust…
This paper addresses the mean-square optimal control problem for \a class of discrete-time linear systems with a quasi-colored control-dependent multiplicative noise via output feedback. The noise under study is novel and shown to have…
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…
