• Abstract: A distributed stochastic optimal control solution is presented for cooperative multi-agent systems. The network of agents is partitioned into multiple factorial subsystems, each of which consists of a central agent and neighboring agents. Local control actions that rely only on agents' local observations are designed to optimize the joint cost functions of subsystems. When solving for the local control actions, the joint optimality equation for each subsystem is cast as a linear partial differential equation and solved using the Feynman-Kac formula. The solution and the optimal control action are then formulated as path integrals and approximated by a Monte-Carlo method. Numerical verification is provided through a simulation example consisting of a team of cooperative UAVs.

  Our work introduces Optimal Control Matching (SOCM), a novel Iterative Diffusion Optimization (IDO) technique for optimal control. The control is learned via a least squares problem by trying to fit a matching vector field. Experimentally, our algorithm achieves lower error than all the existing IDO techniques for optimal control.

  A distributed framework is proposed to partition the optimal control problem of a networked MAS into several local optimal control problems. For discrete-time systems, the joint Bellman equation of each subsystem is transformed into a system of linear equations. For continuous-time systems, the joint optimality equation of each subsystem is converted into a linear partial differential equation.
