Data-driven Linear Quadratic Regulation via Semidefinite Programming
arXiv:1911.07767
Abstract
This paper studies the finite-horizon linear quadratic regulation problem where the dynamics of the system are assumed to be unknown and the state is accessible. Information on the system is given by a finite set of input-state data, where the input injected in the system is persistently exciting of a sufficiently high order. Using data, the optimal control law is then obtained as the solution of a suitable semidefinite program. The effectiveness of the approach is illustrated via numerical examples.
