Event-triggered optimal control of completely unknown nonlinear systems via identifier-critic learning
This paper proposes an online identifier-critic learning framework for event-triggered optimal control of completely unknown nonlinear systems. Unlike classical adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) methods with actor-critic neural networks (NNs), a filter-regression-based approach is developed to reconstruct the unknown system dynamics, and thus avoid the dependence on an accurate system model in the control design loop. Meanwhile, NN adaptive laws are designed for the parameter estimation by using...
