Exact Decomposition of Adversarial Dual-Objective Value Functions, with Applications to Optimal Drug Dosing

Dylan Hirsch, William Sharpless, Sylvia Herbert

The paper proves that certain decompositions of dual‑objective value functions remain valid when an adversary is present, and demonstrates how this can be used to design optimal dr…

Dual-Objective Reinforcement Learning with Novel Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman Formulations

William Sharpless, Dylan Hirsch, Sander Tonkens +2

Hard constraints in reinforcement learning (RL) often degrade policy performance. Lagrangian methods offer a way to blend objectives with constraints, but require intricate reward…

MADR: MPC-guided Adversarial DeepReach

Ryan Teoh, Sander Tonkens, William Sharpless +4

Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) Reachability offers a framework for generating safe value functions and policies in the face of adversarial disturbance, but is limited by the curse of dimensi…

Viscosity CBFs: Bridging the Control Barrier Function and Hamilton-Jacobi Reachability Frameworks in Safe Control Theory

Dylan Hirsch, Jaime Fernández Fisac, Sylvia Herbert

Control barrier functions (CBFs) and Hamilton-Jacobi reachability (HJR) are central frameworks in safe control. Traditionally, these frameworks have been viewed as distinct, with t…

Linear Supervision for Nonlinear, High-Dimensional Neural Control and Differential Games

William Sharpless, Zeyuan Feng, Somil Bansal +1

As the dimension of a system increases, traditional methods for control and differential games rapidly become intractable, making the design of safe autonomous agents challenging i…
