A direct approach to linear-quadratic stochastic control [PDF]

open access: yesOpuscula Mathematica, 2017
A direct approach is used to solve some linear-quadratic stochastic control problems for Brownian motion and other noise processes. This direct method does not require solving Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman partial differential equations or backward stochastic ...

Cross Apprenticeship Learning Framework: Properties and Solution Approaches

open access: yesIEEE Open Journal of Control Systems, 2023
Apprenticeship learning is a framework in which an agent learns a policy to perform a given task in an environment using example trajectories provided by an expert. In the real world, one might have access to expert trajectories in different environments

Optimization of Constrained Stochastic Linear-Quadratic Control on an Infinite Horizon: A Direct-Comparison Based Approach

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2020
In this paper we study the optimization of the discrete-time stochastic linear-quadratic (LQ) control problem with conic control constraints on an infinite horizon, considering multiplicative noises. Stochastic control systems can be formulated as Markov

Stochastic H Robust Decentralized Tracking Control of Large-Scale Team Formation UAV Network System With Time-Varying Delay and Packet Dropout Under Interconnected Couplings and Wiener Fluctuations

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
In this article, a robust decentralized tracking control scheme for a large-scale unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) formation team networked control system (NCS) is proposed to overcome a non-scalable or even infeasible design problem due to high ...

Towards Tensor Representation of Controlled Coupled Markov Chains

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
For a controlled system of coupled Markov chains, which share common control parameters, a tensor description is proposed. A control optimality condition in the form of a dynamic programming equation is derived in tensor form.

Ranking and Selection as Stochastic Control [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2018
Under a Bayesian framework, we formulate the fully sequential sampling and selection decision in statistical ranking and selection as a stochastic control problem, and derive the associated Bellman equation. Using value function approximation, we derive an approximately optimal allocation policy.

Stochastic Hybrid Control

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2000
The authors consider a complicated version of controlled stochastic systems. The time \(t\) is measured continuously. The state of the system is represented by a continuous variable \(x\) and a discrete variable \(n\). Also, the control has two parts, a continuous type control \(v\) that is a measurable stochastic process and a discrete-type (or ...

Robust Stochastic Observer-Based Attack-Tolerant Missile Guidance Control Design Under Malicious Actuator and Sensor Attacks

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
In this study, the robust $H_{\infty }$ stochastic observer-based attack-tolerant guidance control strategy is designed for the nonlinear stochastic missile guidance control system under the external disturbance and measurement noise as well as ...
