Abstract
This paper studies a class of continuous-time linear quadratic (LQ) mean-field game problems. We develop two system transformation data-driven algorithms to approximate the decentralized strategies of the LQ mean-field games. The main feature of the obtained data-driven algorithms is that they eliminate the requirement on all system matrices. First, we transform the original stochastic system into an ordinary differential equation (ODE). Subsequently, we construct some Kronecker product-based matrices by the input/state data of the ODE. By virtue of these matrices, we implement a model-based policy iteration (PI) algorithm and a model-based value iteration (VI) algorithm in data-driven fashions. In addition, we also demonstrate the convergence of these two data-driven algorithms under some mild conditions. Finally, we illustrate the practicality of our algorithms via two numerical examples.
期刊介绍:
The European Control Association (EUCA) has among its objectives to promote the development of the discipline. Apart from the European Control Conferences, the European Journal of Control is the Association''s main channel for the dissemination of important contributions in the field.
The aim of the Journal is to publish high quality papers on the theory and practice of control and systems engineering.
The scope of the Journal will be wide and cover all aspects of the discipline including methodologies, techniques and applications.
Research in control and systems engineering is necessary to develop new concepts and tools which enhance our understanding and improve our ability to design and implement high performance control systems. Submitted papers should stress the practical motivations and relevance of their results.
The design and implementation of a successful control system requires the use of a range of techniques:
Modelling
Robustness Analysis
Identification
Optimization
Control Law Design
Numerical analysis
Fault Detection, and so on.
