Structured exploration in the finite horizon linear quadratic dual control problem

31 Oct 2019  ·  Andrea Iannelli, Mohammad Khosravi, Roy S. Smith ·

This paper presents a novel approach to synthesize dual controllers for unknown linear time-invariant systems with the tasks of optimizing a quadratic cost while reducing the uncertainty. To this end, a synthesis problem is defined where the feedback law has to simultaneously gain knowledge of the system and robustly optimize the cost. By framing the problem in a finite horizon setting, the trade-offs arising when the tasks include both identification and control are formally captured in the optimization problem. Results show that efficient exploration strategies are achieved when the structure of the problem is exploited.
