Abstract
This paper devises a data-driven off-policy inverse reinforcement learning algorithm for discrete-time linear Markov jump systems. Leveraging observed behaviors from multi-mode Markov jump systems optimized with respect to unknown mode-wise cost functions, our algorithm reconstructs each mode’s associated cost function and control policies. Our approach certifies mean-square asymptotic stability, unbiased convergence, and nonuniqueness. Notably, the proposed algorithm operates solely on demonstrated behavioral data, eliminating the need for system models, prior knowledge of transition probabilities, or initial control gains. The practical efficacy of our approach is validated.
期刊介绍:
Automatica is a leading archival publication in the field of systems and control. The field encompasses today a broad set of areas and topics, and is thriving not only within itself but also in terms of its impact on other fields, such as communications, computers, biology, energy and economics. Since its inception in 1963, Automatica has kept abreast with the evolution of the field over the years, and has emerged as a leading publication driving the trends in the field.
After being founded in 1963, Automatica became a journal of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) in 1969. It features a characteristic blend of theoretical and applied papers of archival, lasting value, reporting cutting edge research results by authors across the globe. It features articles in distinct categories, including regular, brief and survey papers, technical communiqués, correspondence items, as well as reviews on published books of interest to the readership. It occasionally publishes special issues on emerging new topics or established mature topics of interest to a broad audience.
Automatica solicits original high-quality contributions in all the categories listed above, and in all areas of systems and control interpreted in a broad sense and evolving constantly. They may be submitted directly to a subject editor or to the Editor-in-Chief if not sure about the subject area. Editorial procedures in place assure careful, fair, and prompt handling of all submitted articles. Accepted papers appear in the journal in the shortest time feasible given production time constraints.
