Event-triggered constrained control using explainable global dual heuristic programming for nonlinear discrete-time systems

This paper develops an event-triggered optimal control method that can deal with asymmetric input constraints for nonlinear discrete-time systems. The implementation is based on an explainable global dual heuristic programming (XGDHP) technique. Different from traditional GDHP, the required derivatives of cost function in the proposed method...

Event-triggered intelligent critic control with input constraints applied to a nonlinear aeroelastic system

In this paper, we establish an event-triggered intelligent control scheme with a single critic network, to cope with the optimal stabilization problem of nonlinear aeroelastic systems. The main contribution lies in the design of a novel triggering condition with input constraints, avoiding the Lipschitz assumption on the inverse hyperbolic...

Incremental Model-Based Global Dual Heuristic Programming for Flight Control

This paper proposes a novel adaptive dynamic programming method, called Incremental model-based Global Dual Heuristic Programming, to generate a self-learning adaptive controller, in the absence of sufficient prior knowledge of system dynamics. An incremental technique is employed for online model identification, instead of the artificial...

Reinforcement learning for control: Performance, stability, and deep approximators

Reinforcement learning (RL) offers powerful algorithms to search for optimal controllers of systems with nonlinear, possibly stochastic dynamics that are unknown or highly uncertain. This review mainly covers artificial-intelligence approaches to RL, from the viewpoint of the control engineer. We explain how approximate representations of the...
