Direct Data-Driven Approximate Optimal Control of Nonlinear Input-Affine Systems
Benita Nortmann, Thulasi Mylvaganam
In this paper, we combine a data-driven system representation with a framework to systematically construct (approximate) solutions to nonlinear optimal control problems. By immersi…

One Equation to Rule Them All -- Part I: Direct Data-Driven Cascade Stabilisation
Junyu Mao, Emyr Williams, Thulasi Mylvaganam +1
In this article we present a framework for direct data-driven control for general problems involving interconnections of dynamical systems. We first develop a method to determine t…
