Optimal Synchronization Control of Multiagent Systems With Input Saturation via Off-Policy Reinforcement Learning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, we aim to investigate the optimal synchronization problem for a group of generic linear systems with input saturation. To seek the optimal controller, Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations involving nonquadratic input energy terms in coupled forms are established. The solutions to these coupled HJB equations are further proven to be optimal and the induced controllers constitute interactive Nash equilibrium. Due to the difficulty to analytically solve HJB equations, especially in coupled forms, and the possible lack of model information of the systems, we apply the data-based off-policy reinforcement learning algorithm to learn the optimal control policies. A byproduct of this off-policy algorithm is shown that it is insensitive to probing noise that is exerted to the system to maintain persistence of excitation condition. In order to implement this off-policy algorithm, we employ actor and critic neural networks to approximate the controllers and the cost functions. Furthermore, the estimated control policies obtained by this presented implementation are proven to converge to the optimal ones under certain conditions. Finally, an illustrative example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
