New method uses Hessian data to improve optimal control approximations

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel data-driven method for approximating value functions in deterministic optimal control problems with nonlinear control-affine dynamics. This approach utilizes the Pontryagin Maximum Principle to generate training data, including values, gradients, and Hessians of the value function. By augmenting weighted least-squares regression with this second-order information, the method significantly reduces sample complexity compared to value-only regression. The technique has been validated on problems of increasing state dimension, demonstrating improved approximation accuracy and closed-loop performance, with a substantial reduction in required training samples.
