Learning Controlled Stochastic Differential Equations

arXiv:2411. 01982v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the problem of learning controlled stochastic differential equations (SDEs) \[ dX_t = b(t,X_t,u_t)\,dt + \sigma(t,X_t,u_t)\,dW_t, \] whose drift and diffusion depend nonlinearly on time, state, and control values.

Demystifying Linear Operator Learning for Control Systems

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.

Finite-Sample Metric Non-Collapse for Geometrically Supervised Latent World Models in Control

The paper presents a finite‑sample learning‑to‑control framework for geometrically supervised latent models of nonlinear deterministic systems. It introduces an encoder‑only local–global metric hinge that ensures directional resolution and state discrimination, and proves that any approximate empirical minimizer is pointwise co‑Lipschitz and uniformly approximately semiconjugate to the true dynamics under regularity assumptions. The results provide explicit bounds on approximation, sampling, and optimization errors, and demonstrate through controlled experiments that restoring metric resolution improves control performance.

Nonparametric Control Koopman Operators

arXiv:2405. 07312v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper presents a novel Koopman composition operator representation framework for control systems in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs) that is free of explicit dictionary or input parametrizations.
