Learning Optimal Controllers for Linear Systems with Multiplicative Noise via Policy Gradient

The linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problem has reemerged as an important theoretical benchmark for reinforcement learning-based control of complex dynamical systems with continuous state and action spaces. In contrast with nearly all recent work in this area, we consider multiplicative noise models, which are increasingly relevant because...

Underwater Source Localization Using TDOA and FDOA Measurements with Unknown Propagation Speed and Sensor Parameter Errors

Underwater source localization problems are complicated and challenging: a) the sound propagation speed is often unknown and the unpredictable ocean current might lead to the uncertainties of sensor parameters (i.e. position and velocity); b) the underwater acoustic signal travels much slower than the radio one in terrestrial environments,...
