Data-Based H∞Control for the Constrained-Input Nonlinear Systems and its Applications in Chaotic Circuit Systems

Abstract

In this paper, $H_\infty $ control problem is investigated by off-policy integral reinforcement learning (IRL) method for the nonlinear systems with completely unknown dynamics, disturbances, and constrained-input. Firstly, according to a model-based policy iteration (PI) algorithm, a model-free algorithm is proposed based on the derived iterative equation, and the equivalence of model-based PI algorithm and model-free algorithm is proven. Then, the model-free algorithm is implemented by off-policy IRL technology to solve the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs (HJI) equation with the collected system data by the least-square approach, where three neural networks (NNs) are constructed to approximate the value function, control and the disturbance. Finally, our proposed methods are applied to stabilize an autonomous third-order Chua’s chaotic circuit system and a non-autonomous second-order memristive chaotic circuit system to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
