The paper presents a fully data-driven method for optimal control of nonlinear control‑affine systems modeled as stochastic diffusions. It embeds state probability densities into a reproducing kernel Hilbert space to learn Markov transition operators, which are then used in convex operator‑theoretic Hamilton‑Jacobi‑Bellman recursions that scale linearly with state dimensionality. Numerical experiments show the approach can solve diverse nonlinear control tasks, such as depth regulation of an autonomous underwater vehicle.

The paper introduces an operator-theoretic approach to offline reinforcement learning for continuous-time stochastic systems. By linking reinforcement learning to the Hamilton‑Jacobi‑Bellman equation, it proposes a dynamic programming recursion that represents the world model through the infinitesimal generator of controlled diffusion processes learned in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. The authors establish global convergence of the value function under small generator‑approximation error and provide explicit finite‑sample guarantees tied to system properties such as smoothness and stability.

The paper introduces a structured method for learning linear operators in control systems using data. It leverages the framework of (semi)groups for evolution equations to establish structural assumptions and applies inverse‑problems theory to analyze learning algorithms, revealing error decompositions, convergence guarantees, and optimal regularization. Focusing on bounded operators on Hilbert spaces, the authors derive a convergent estimator for time‑varying systems, illustrating the practical power of their approach.

We develop a comprehensive theory for regularized M-estimation in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. Under mild conditions on the loss we establish existence and measurability of the estimator, covering a wide range of convex and non-convex losses, including bounded robust losses.

arXiv:2606. 30230v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learned reconstruction operators for inverse problems are typically trained under a fixed noise model, and generalize poorly when the distribution during testing differs from the one assumed during training.
