• Title: Robust stabilization of polytopic systems via fast and reliable neural network-based approximations
• Authors: Filippo Fabiani, Paul J. Goulart
• Abstract summary: We consider the design of fast and reliable neural network (NN)-based approximations of traditional stabilizing controllers for linear systems with polytopic uncertainty. We certify the closed-loop stability and performance of a linear uncertain system when a trained rectified linear unit (ReLU)-based approximation replaces such traditional controllers.

• Abstract: We consider the design of fast and reliable neural network (NN)-based approximations of traditional stabilizing controllers for linear systems with polytopic uncertainty, including control laws with variable structure and those based on a (minimal) selection policy. Building upon recent approaches for the design of reliable control surrogates with guaranteed structural properties, we develop a systematic procedure to certify the closed-loop stability and performance of a linear uncertain system when a trained rectified linear unit (ReLU)-based approximation replaces such traditional controllers. First, we provide a sufficient condition, which involves the worst-case approximation error between ReLU-based and traditional controller-based state-to-input mappings, ensuring that the system is ultimately bounded within a set with adjustable size and convergence rate. Then, we develop an offline, mixed-integer optimization-based method that allows us to compute that quantity exactly.

  Neural Networks (NNs) can be leveraged to parametrize control policies that yield good performance. NNs' sensitivity to small input changes poses a risk of destabilizing the closed-loop system. To address these problems, we leverage the framework of port-Hamiltonian systems to design continuous-time distributed control policies. The effectiveness of the proposed distributed controllers is demonstrated through consensus control of non-holonomic mobile robots.

  A common problem affecting neural network (NN) approximations of model predictive control (MPC) policies is the lack of analytical tools to assess the stability of the closed-loop system under the action of the NN-based controller. We present a general procedure to quantify the performance of such a controller, or to design minimum complexity NNs that preserve the desirable properties of a given MPC scheme.
