Abstract:
This paper considers an optimal control of an affine nonlinear system with unknown system dynamics. A new identifier-critic framework is proposed to solve the optimal control problem. Firstly, a neural network identifier is built to estimate the unknown system dynamics, and a critic NN is constructed to solve the Hamiltonian-Jacobi-Bellman equation associated with the optimal control problem. A dynamic regressor extension and mixing technique is applied to design the weight update laws with relaxed persistence of excitation conditions for the two classes of neural networks. The parameter estimation of the update laws and the stability of the closed-loop system under the adaptive optimal control are analyzed using a Lyapunov function method. Numerical simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed IC learning based optimal control algorithm for the affine nonlinear system.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
