Safe Learning Control with Optimality and Stability Guarantees

arXiv:2501.15373v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Merely pursuing performance may adversely affect safety, while a conservative policy for safe exploration will degrade the performance. How to guarantee both safety and performance in learning-based control problems is an interesting yet challenging issue. This paper aims to enhance system performance with a safety guarantee by solving reinforcement learning (RL)-based optimal control problems for nonlinear systems subject to high-relativ
