Abstract

The performance shaping method is addressed as a statistical optimal control problem. In statistical control, we shape the distribution of the cost function by minimizing n-th order cost cumulants. The n-th cost cumulant, Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation is derived as the necessary condition for the optimality. The proposed method provides an approach to control a higher order cost cumulant for stochastic systems, and generalizes the traditional linear-quadratic-Gaussian and Risk-Sensitive control methods. This allows the cost performance shaping via the cost cumulants. Moreover, the solution of general n-th cost cumulant control is provided by numerically solving the HJB equations using neural network method. The results of this paper are demonstrated through a satellite attitude control example.
