A Self-Tuning Optimal Controller For Affine Nonlinear Continuous-Time Systems With Unknown Internal Dynamics, Travis Dierks, Sarangapani Jagannathan Jan 2012

A Self-Tuning Optimal Controller For Affine Nonlinear Continuous-Time Systems With Unknown Internal Dynamics, Travis Dierks, Sarangapani Jagannathan

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper presents a novel neural network (NN) - based self-tuning controller for the optimal regulation of affine nonlinear continuous-time systems. Knowledge of the internal system dynamics is not required whereas the control coefficient matrix is considered to be available. the proposed nonlinear optimal regulator tunes itself in order to simultaneously learn the optimal control input, optimal cost function, and the system internal dynamics using a single NN. a novel NN weight tuning algorithm is derived which ensures the internal system dynamics are learned while simultaneously minimizing a predefined cost function. an initial stabilizing controller is not required. Lyapunov methods …


Optimal Adaptive Controller Scheme For Uncertain Quantized Linear Discrete-Time System, Qiming Zhao, Hao Xu, S. Jagannathan Jan 2012

Optimal Adaptive Controller Scheme For Uncertain Quantized Linear Discrete-Time System, Qiming Zhao, Hao Xu, S. Jagannathan

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper, the Bellman equation is used to solve the optimal adaptive control of quantized linear discrete-time system with unknown dynamics. to mitigate the effect of the quantization errors, the dynamics of the quantization error bound and an update law for tuning the range of the dynamic quantizer are derived. Subsequently, by using adaptive dynamic programming technique, the infinite horizon optimal regulation problem of the uncertain quantized linear discrete-time system is solved in a forward-in-time manner without using value and/or policy iterations. the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system is verified by standard Lyapunov stability approach in the presence …


State And Output Feedback-Based Adaptive Optimal Control Of Nonlinear Continuous-Time Systems In Strict Feedback Form, H. Zargarzadeh, T. Dierks, S. Jagannathan Jan 2012

State And Output Feedback-Based Adaptive Optimal Control Of Nonlinear Continuous-Time Systems In Strict Feedback Form, H. Zargarzadeh, T. Dierks, S. Jagannathan

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper focuses on neural network (NN) based adaptive optimal control of nonlinear continuous-time systems in strict feedback form with known dynamics. a single NN is utilized to learn the infinite horizon cost function which is the solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation in continuous-time. the corresponding optimal control input that minimizes the HJB equation is calculated in a forward-in-time manner without using value and policy iterations. First, the optimal control problem is solved in a generic multi-input and multi output (MIMO) nonlinear system in strict feedback form with a state feedback approach. Then, the approach is extended to single …
