Discrete time control. Optimal control theory: Optimize sum of a path cost and end cost. Nonlinear stochastic optimal control problem is reduced to solving the stochastic Hamilton- Jacobi-Bellman (SHJB) equation. See, for example, Ahmed [2], Bensoussan [5], Cadenilla s and Karatzas [7], Elliott [8], H. J. Kushner [10] Pen, g [12]. In this paper I give an introduction to deterministic and stochastic control theory; partial observability, learning and the combined problem of inference and control. Control theory is a mathematical description of how to act optimally to gain future rewards. to be held on Saturday July 5 2008 in Helsinki, Finland, as part of the 25th International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2008) Bert Kappen , Radboud University, Nijmegen, the Netherlands. 33 0 obj - ICML 2008 tutorial. <> t) = min.

In contrast to deterministic control, SOC directly captures the uncertainty typically present in noisy environments and leads to solutions that qualitatively de- pend on the level of uncertainty (Kappen 2005).

Recent work on Path Integral stochastic optimal control Kappen (2007, 2005b,a) gave interesting insights into symmetry breaking phenomena while it provided conditions under which the nonlinear and second order HJB could be transformed into a linear PDE similar to the backward chapman Kolmogorov PDE. 0:T−1. stream van den Broek, Wiegerinck & Kappen 2. In this talk, I introduce a class of control problems where the intractabilities appear as the computation of a partition sum, as in a statistical mechanical system.

Satoh and H. Kappen and M.

We address the role of noise and the issue of efficient computation in stochastic optimal control problems.
