Fixed-Time Resilient Integral Reinforcement Learning for Input-Constrained Unknown Nonlinear Systems Under FDI Attacks and Disturbances: A Data-Driven Admissible Warm Start
arXiv:2609.14067
Abstract
This paper develops a resilient learning controller for unknown nonlinear systems operating under actuator limits, false-data-injection attacks, and external disturbances. The key idea is to learn a saturated secure policy directly from finite trajectory data while guaranteeing that both the learning error and the closed-loop state converge to compact neighborhoods within a uniform fixed time independent of initial conditions. An integral formulation removes the unknown drift from the implementable learning law, while stored informative data sustain learning after online excitation fades. To mitigate the closed-loop sensitivity to arbitrary critic initialization, pre-deployment data, which may also be reused from the replay stack, are lifted through a finite-dimensional Koopman representation to construct a stabilizing initial policy, whose inverse saturated-policy map provides a data-driven critic-weight warm start. The resulting controller preserves input constraints by construction and guarantees practical fixed-time robustness under persistent attacks and disturbances. The proposed learning and initialization architecture is further verified through a two-link robot stabilization example, where the results demonstrate rapid state recovery, bounded critic learning, reliable actuator-constraint satisfaction, and improved closed-loop behavior under informed critic initialization.
