Abstract
In this chapter, by using neural network (NN)-based online learning optimal control approach, a decentralized control strategy is developed to stabilize a class of continuous-time large-scale interconnected nonlinear systems . It is proven that the decentralized control strategy of the overall system can be established by adding appropriate feedback gains to the optimal control laws of the isolated subsystems . Then, an online policy iteration (PI) algorithm is developed to solve the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations related to the optimal control problem. By constructing a set of critic NNs, the cost functions can be obtained by NN approximation, followed by the control laws. Furthermore, as a generalization, an NN-based decentralized control law is developed to stabilize the large-scale interconnected nonlinear systems using an online model-free integral PI algorithm. The model-free PI approach can solve the decentralized control problem for large-scale interconnected nonlinear systems with unknown dynamics. Finally, two simulation examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the present decentralized control scheme.
