This paper investigates the linear quadratic regulator(LQR) problem of linear stochastic systems with Markovian jump. Firstly, two iterative algorithms are proposed for solving the corresponding coupled algebraic Riccati equa- tions (CAREs) based on the general-type Lyapunov equation derived from linear stochastic systems. It is verified that the second algorithm adding an adjustable factor converges faster than the first one without it. Secondly, a monotonic convergence theorem is established for the proposed iterative algorithms under certain initial conditions. In the end, a numerical example is given to verify the efficiency of the proposed algorithms.

Abstract In this contribution, the optimization of systems under uncertainty is considered. The possibilistic evaluation of the fuzzy-valued constraints and the adoption of a multicriteria decision making technique for the fuzzy-valued objective function enable a meaningful solution to general fuzzy-valued optimization problems. The presented approach is universally applicable, which is demonstrated by reformulating and solving the linear quadratic regulator problem for fuzzy-valued system matrices and initial conditions.

Use of semidefinite programming for solving the LQR problem subject to rectangular descriptor systemsThis paper deals with the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) problem subject to descriptor systems for which the semidefinite programming approach is used as a solution. We propose a new sufficient condition in terms of primal dual semidefinite programming for the existence of the optimal state-control pair of the problem considered. The results show that semidefinite programming is an elegant method to solve the problem under consideration. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the results.

Understanding how neural dynamics give rise to behaviour is one of the most fundamental questions in systems neuroscience. To achieve this, a common approach is to record neural populations in behaving animals, and model these data as emanating from a latent dynamical system whose state trajectories can then be related back to behavioural observations via some form of decoding. As recordings are typically performed in localized circuits that form only a part of the wider implicated network, it is important to simultaneously learn the local dynamics and infer any unobserved external input that might drive them. Here, we introduce iLQR-VAE, a novel control-based approach to variational inference in nonlinear dynamical systems, capable of learning both latent dynamics, initial conditions, and ongoing external inputs. As in recent deep learning approaches, our method is based on an input-driven sequential variational autoencoder (VAE). The main novelty lies in the use of the powerful iterative linear quadratic regulator algorithm (iLQR) in the recognition model. Optimization of the standard evidence lower-bound requires differentiating through iLQR solutions, which is made possible by recent advances in differentiable control. Importantly, having the recognition model implicitly defined by the generative model greatly reduces the number of free parameters and allows for flexible, high-quality inference. This makes it possible for instance to evaluate the model on a single long trial after training on smaller chunks. We demonstrate the effectiveness of iLQR-VAE on a range of synthetic systems, with autonomous as well as input-driven dynamics. We further show state-of-the-art performance on neural and behavioural recordings in non-human primates during two different reaching tasks.
