Abstract
En 中文
This paper is about output-feedback control problems for linear systems in the presence of given state-, control-, disturbance-, and measurement error constraints. Because the traditional separation theorem in stochastic control is inapplicable to such constrained systems, a novel information-theoretic framework is proposed. It leads to an intrinsic separation principle that can be used to break the dual control problem for constrained linear systems into a meta-learning problem that minimizes an intrinsic information measure and a robust control problem that minimizes an extrinsic risk measure. The theoretical results in this paper can be applied in combination with modern polytopic computing methods in order to approximate a large class of dual control problems by finite-dimensional convex optimization problems.
