A Refined Algorithm for the Adaptive Optimal Output Regulation Problem

Abstract

Given a linear unknown system with $m$ inputs, $p$ outputs, $n$ dimensional state vector, and $q$ dimensional ecosystem, the problem of the adaptive optimal output regulation of this system boils down to iteratively solving a set of linear equations and each of these equations contains $\frac{n (n+1)}{2} + (m+q)n$ unknown variables. In this paper, we refine the existing algorithm by decoupling each of these linear equations into two lower-dimensional linear equations. The first one contains $nq$ unknown variables, and the second one contains $\frac{n (n+1)}{2} + mn$ unknown variables. As a result, the solvability conditions for these equations are also significantly weakened.
