Consistent Model Chasing Is Minimax Optimal: The Exact Value of Scalar Adversarial Adaptive Control under Large Parametric Uncertainty

arXiv:2608. 13651v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We solve exactly a fundamental problem of adaptive control against adversarial disturbances: regulate the scalar system $x_{t+1} = ax_t + u_t + w_t$, $x_0=0$, $\|w\|_\infty \le 1$, where the constant pole $a \in [-\Delta, \Delta]$ is unknown in sign and magnitude and $\Delta$ is arbitrarily large.

Contract-Based Compositional Shielding for Safe Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2606. 14130v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Safe coordination problems surface in multi-agent reinforcement learning when global safety cannot be enforced by any agent unilaterally: the admissibility of one agent's action may depend on the dynamics of other agents.
