Distributional reinforcement learning (DRL) enhances the understanding of the effects of the randomness in the environment by letting agents learn the distribution of a random return, rather than its expected value as in standard…

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…
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…
Consider a discrete-time Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) problem solved using policy gradient descent when the system matrices are unknown. The gradient is transmitted across a noisy channel over a finite time horizon using analog…
We propose a new risk-constrained reformulation of the standard Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) problem. Our framework is motivated by the fact that the classical (risk-neutral) LQR controller, although optimal in expectation, might be…
The distributional reinforcement learning (RL) approach advocates for representing the complete probability distribution of the random return instead of only modelling its expectation. A distributional RL algorithm may be characterised by…
A gradient-based method is proposed for solving the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problem for linear systems with nonlinear dependence on time-invariant probabilistic parametric uncertainties. The approach explicitly accounts for model…
This paper studies the robustness of reinforcement learning algorithms to errors in the learning process. Specifically, we revisit the benchmark problem of discrete-time linear quadratic regulation (LQR) and study the long-standing open…
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…
This paper introduces a novel data-driven approach to design a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) using a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm that does not require a system model. The key contribution is to perform policy iteration (PI) by…
We consider the continuous-time Linear-Quadratic-Regulator (LQR) problem in terms of optimizing a real-valued matrix function over the set of feedback gains. The results developed are in parallel to those in Bu et al. [1] for discrete-time…
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…
The Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller is known to be inherently fragile to model misspecifications common in real-world situations. We consider discrete-time partially observable stochastic linear systems and provide a…
The Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is a cornerstone of optimal control theory, widely studied in both model-based and model-free approaches. Despite its well-established nature, certain foundational aspects remain subtle. In this paper,…
We present a data-driven method for solving the linear quadratic regulator problem for systems with multiplicative disturbances, the distribution of which is only known through sample estimates. We adopt a distributionally robust approach…
Feedback control problems involving autonomous quadratic systems are prevalent, yet there are only a limited number of software tools available for approximating their solution due to the complexity of the problem. This paper represents a…
We formulate and solve a discrete-time linear-quadratic regulation (LQR) problem in a finite horizon that penalizes temporal variability and stochastic variability of the state trajectory. Our approach enables the user to strike a balance…
The linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problem is a cornerstone of automatic control, and it has been widely studied in the data-driven setting. The various data-driven approaches can be classified as indirect (i.e., based on an identified…
Linear-Quadratic (LQ) problems that arise in systems and controls include the classical optimal control problems of the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) in both its deterministic and stochastic forms, as well as $H^\infty$-analysis (the…
