An Information-Theoretic Analysis of Discrete-Time Control and Filtering Limitations by the I-MMSE Relationships
Neng Wan, Dapeng Li, Naira Hovakimyan +1
Fundamental limitations or performance trade-offs/limits are important properties and constraints of both control and filtering systems. Among various trade-off metrics, total info…
Safety Embedded Stochastic Optimal Control of Networked Multi-Agent Systems via Barrier States
