This monograph explores the analysis and design of model-free optimal control systems based on reinforcement learning (RL) theory, presenting new methods that overcome recent challenges faced by RL.  New developments in the design of sensor data efficient RL algorithms are demonstrated that not only reduce the requirement of sensors by means of output feedback, but also ensure optimality and stability guarantees.  A variety of practical challenges are considered, including disturbance rejection, control constraints, and communication delays.  Ideas from game theory are incorporated to solve output feedback disturbance rejection problems, and the concepts of low gain feedback control are employed to develop RL controllers that achieve global stability under control constraints.Output Feedback Reinforcement Learning Control for Linear Systems will be a valuable reference for graduate students, control theorists working on optimal control systems, engineers, and applied mathematicians.

This monograph is the first of its kind to present innovative research results on truncated predictor feedback (TPF) designs for general linear systems with input delay.

This monograph investigates the stability and performance of control systems subject to actuator saturation. The authors apply these treatments to the estimation of the domain of attraction and the finite-gain L2 performance by using the quadratic Lyapunov function and the composite quadratic Lyapunov function.

This thorough book covers rotordynamics and Active-Magnetic-Bearing technology, from instability modeling and controller design to implementation and testing of the control algorithm in a specially-constructed industrial-size centrifugal compression system.

This book gives a unified and unique presentation of low gain and high gain design methodologies. Compared to that of high gain feedback, the power and significance of low gain feedback is not as widely recognized.

Includes MATLAB-based computational and design algorithms utilizing the "Linear Systems Toolkit."All results and case studies presented in both the continuous- and discrete-time settings.
