Fall 2009
This thesis is concerned with the analysis of the control design to the nonlinear networked control systems (NCSs). Ignoring the network connection and cascading actuators, the plant and sensors together, a sampled-data system is obtained. The stabilization problem of nonlinear sampled-data...

Strengths, Weaknesses, and Combinations of Model-based and Model-free Reinforcement Learning
DownloadSpring 2016
Reinforcement learning algorithms are conventionally divided into two approaches: a model-based approach that builds a model of the environment and then computes a value function from the model, and a model-free approach that directly estimates the value function. The first contribution of this...
