Decomposability and Parallel Computation of Multi-Agent LQR

2021 AMERICAN CONTROL CONFERENCE (ACC), pp. 4527–4532.

By: G. Jing n , H. Bai *, J. George * & A. Chakrabortty n 

author keywords: Reinforcement learning; linear quadratic regulator; multi-agent systems; decomposition
TL;DR: This work proposes a parallel RL scheme for a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) design in a continuous-time linear MAS and shows that if the MAS is homogeneous then this decomposition retains closed-loop optimality. (via Semantic Scholar)

Local Shape-Preserving Formation Maneuver Control of Multi-agent Systems: From 2D to 3D

2021 60TH IEEE CONFERENCE ON DECISION AND CONTROL (CDC), pp. 6251–6257.

Model-Free Optimal Control of Linear Multiagent Systems via Decomposition and Hierarchical Approximation

IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CONTROL OF NETWORK SYSTEMS, 8(3), 1069–1081.

By: G. Jing n , H. Bai *, J. George * & A. Chakrabortty n 

author keywords: Decomposition; hierarchical control; large-scale networks; linear quadratic regulator (LQR); model-free reinforcement learning (RL)
TL;DR: A hierarchical controller is proposed that adheres to a particular structure as specified by the inter-agent coupling in the objective function and by the decomposition strategy, and mathematical formulations are established to find a decomposition that minimizes required communication links or reduces the optimality gap.
