Paper: "Receding Hamiltonian-Informed Optimal Control and State Estimation for Continuous Closed-Loop Dynamical Systems"

This projects implements Hamiltonian-Informed Optimal Neural (Hion) controllers, a novel class of neural network-based controllers for dynamical systems and explicit non-linear model-predictive control. Hion controllers estimate future states and develop an optimal control strategy using Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle. The proposed framework, along with our Taylored Multi-Faceted Approach for Neural ODE and Optimal Control (T-mano) architecture, allows for custom transient behavior, predictive control, and closed-loop feed back, addressing limitations of existing methods. Comparative analyses with established model-predictive controllers revealed Hion controllers’ superior optimality and tracking ca pabilities. Optimal control strategies are also demonstrated for both linear and non-linear dynamical systems
