论文摘要
储层计算是预测湍流的有力工具，其简单的架构具有处理大型系统的计算效率。然而，其实现通常需要完整的状态向量测量和系统非线性知识。我们使用非线性投影函数将系统测量扩展到高维空间，然后将其输入到储层中以获得预测。我们展示了这种储层计算网络在时空混沌系统上的应用，该系统模拟了湍流的若干特征。我们表明，使用径向基函数作为非线性投影器，即使只有部分观测并且不知道控制方程，也能稳健地捕捉复杂的系统非线性。最后，我们表明，当测量稀疏、不完整且带有噪声，甚至控制方程变得不准确时，我们的网络仍然可以产生相当准确的预测，从而为实际湍流系统的无模型预测铺平了道路。
While the optimization landscape of policy gradient methods has been recently investigated for partially observed linear systems in terms of both static output feedback and dynamical controllers, they only provide convergence guarantees to stationary points. In this paper, we propose a new policy parameterization for partially observed linear systems, using a past input-output trajectory of finite length as feedback. We show that the solution set to the parameterized optimization problem is a matrix space, which is invariant to similarity transformation. By proving a gradient dominance property, we show the global convergence of policy gradient methods. Moreover, we observe that the gradient is orthogonal to the solution set, revealing an explicit relation between the resulting solution and the initial policy. Finally, we perform simulations to validate our theoretical results.
