Model-Free Optimization on Smooth Compact Manifolds: Overcoming Topological Obstructions using Zeroth-Order Hybrid Dynamics
Daniel E. Ochoa, Jorge I. Poveda
Smooth autonomous dynamical systems modeled by ordinary differential equations (ODEs) cannot robustly and globally stabilize a point in compact, boundaryless manifolds. This obstru…

Accelerated Continuous-Time Approximate Dynamic Programming via Data-Assisted Hybrid Control
Daniel E. Ochoa, Jorge I. Poveda
We introduce a new closed-loop architecture for the online solution of approximate optimal control problems in the context of continuous-time systems. Specifically, we introduce th…
