Recent research has shown that supervised learning can be an effective tool for designing optimal feedback controllers for high-dimensional nonlinear dynamic systems. But the behavior of these neural network (NN) controllers is still not well understood. In this paper we use numerical simulations to demonstrate that typical test accuracy metrics do not effectively capture the ability of an NN controller to stabilize a system. In particular, some NNs with high test accuracy can fail to stabilize the dynamics. To address this we propose two NN architectures which locally approximate a linear quadratic regulator (LQR). Numerical simulations confirm our intuition that the proposed architectures reliably produce stabilizing feedback controllers without sacrificing performance. In addition, we introduce a preliminary theoretical result describing some stability properties of such NN-controlled systems.

In this paper we propose a new computational method for designing optimal regulators for high-dimensional nonlinear systems. The proposed approach leverages physics-informed machine learning to solve high-dimensional Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations arising in optimal feedback control. Concretely, we augment linear quadratic regulators with neural networks to handle nonlinearities. We train the augmented models on data generated without discretizing the state space, enabling application to high-dimensional problems. We use the proposed method to design a candidate optimal regulator for an unstable Burgers equation, and through this example, demonstrate improved robustness and accuracy compared to existing neural network formulations.
We propose a neural network approach for solving high-dimensional optimal control problems arising in real-time applications. Our approach yields controls in a feedback form and can therefore handle uncertainties such as perturbations to the systems state. We accomplish this by fusing the Pontryagin Maximum Principle (PMP) and Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) approaches and parameterizing the value function with a neural network. We train our neural network model using the objective function of the control problem and penalty terms that enforce the HJB equations. Therefore, our training algorithm does not involve data generated by another algorithm. By training on a distribution of initial states, we ensure the controls optimality on a large portion of the state-space. Our grid-free approach scales efficiently to dimensions where grids become impractical or infeasible. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on several multi-agent collision-avoidance problems in up to 150 dimensions. Furthermore, we empirically observe that the number of parameters in our approach scales linearly with the dimension of the control problem, thereby mitigating the curse of dimensionality.

This paper is concerned with a bilinear control problem for enhancing convection-cooling via an incompressible velocity field. Both optimal open-loop control and closed-loop feedback control designs are addressed. First and second order optimality co nditions for characterizing the optimal solution are discussed. In particular, the method of instantaneous control is applied to establish the feedback laws. Moreover, the construction of feedback laws is also investigated by directly utilizing the optimality system with appropriate numerical discretization schemes. Computationally, it is much easier to implement the closed-loop feedback control than the optimal open-loop control, as the latter requires to solve the state equations forward in time, coupled with the adjoint equations backward in time together with a nonlinear optimality condition. Rigorous analysis and numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate our ideas and validate the efficacy of the control designs.
A supervised learning approach for the solution of large-scale nonlinear stabilization problems is presented. A stabilizing feedback law is trained from a dataset generated from State-dependent Riccati Equation solves. The training phase is enriched by the use gradient information in the loss function, which is weighted through the use of hyperparameters. High-dimensional nonlinear stabilization tests demonstrate that real-time sequential large-scale Algebraic Riccati Equation solves can be substituted by a suitably trained feedforward neural network.
The widespread adoption of nonlinear Receding Horizon Control (RHC) strategies by industry has led to more than 30 years of intense research efforts to provide stability guarantees for these methods. However, current theoretical guarantees require th at each (generally nonconvex) planning problem can be solved to (approximate) global optimality, which is an unrealistic requirement for the derivative-based local optimization methods generally used in practical implementations of RHC. This paper takes the first step towards understanding stability guarantees for nonlinear RHC when the inner planning problem is solved to first-order stationary points, but not necessarily global optima. Special attention is given to feedback linearizable systems, and a mixture of positive and negative results are provided. We establish that, under certain strong conditions, first-order solutions to RHC exponentially stabilize linearizable systems. Crucially, this guarantee requires that state costs applied to the planning problems are in a certain sense `compatible with the global geometry of the system, and a simple counter-example demonstrates the necessity of this condition. These results highlight the need to rethink the role of global geometry in the context of optimization-based control.
