The present paper develops an optimal linear quadratic boundary controller for $2\times2$ linear hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) with actuation on only one end of the domain. First-order necessary conditions for optimality…
A linear-quadratic (LQ, for short) optimal control problem is considered for mean-field stochastic differential equations with constant coefficients in an infinite horizon. The stabilizability of the control system is studied followed by…
In this paper, we solve the long-standing fundamental problem of irregular linear--quadratic (LQ) optimal control, which has received significant attention since the 1960s. We derive the optimal controllers via the key technique of finding…
The continuous and discrete time Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) theory has been used in this paper for the design of optimal analog and discrete PID controllers respectively. The PID controller gains are formulated as the optimal…
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…
Linear time-invariant control systems can be considered as finitely generated modules over the commutative principal ideal ring $\mathbb{R}[\frac{d}{dt}]$ of linear differential operators with respect to the time derivative. The Kalman…
This paper presents a simulation-based comparison between the two controllers, Proportional Integral Derivative (PID), a classical controller and Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), an optimal controller, for a linearized quadrotor model. To…

Designing the optimal linear quadratic regulator (LQR) for a large-scale multi-agent system (MAS) is time-consuming since it involves solving a large-size matrix Riccati equation. The situation is further exasperated when the design needs…

We study the exploration-exploitation dilemma in the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) setting. Inspired by the extended value iteration algorithm used in optimistic algorithms for finite MDPs, we propose to relax the optimistic optimization…
The convergence of policy gradient algorithms hinges on the optimization landscape of the underlying optimal control problem. Theoretical insights into these algorithms can often be acquired from analyzing those of linear quadratic control.…
We propose controller synthesis for state regulation problems in which a human operator shares control with an autonomy system, running in parallel. The autonomy system continuously improves over human action, with minimal intervention, and…
The quadratic optimal state feedback (LQR) is one of the most popular designs for linear systems and succeeds via the solution of the algebraic Riccati equation. The situation is different in the case of non-linear systems: the Riccati…

In networked control systems, often the sensory signals are quantized before being transmitted to the controller. Consequently, performance is affected by the coarseness of this quantization process. Modern communication technologies allow…
