用隐式表示让神经网络控制器可验证,性能超越传统线性控制器。

Implicit Neural Networks as Static Controllers: Certificates and Performance Separation

  • 将神经网络控制器建模为带已知激活函数的线性闭环,便于数学分析
  • 证明在特定不稳定系统上,神经控制器比任何有限阶线性控制器更优
  • 提供可计算的稳定性与性能证书,适合对安全性要求高的控制场景

隐式神经控制器(INCs)是通过代数不动点方程评估的静态反馈律,包含神经网络控制器作为特例。本文提出一种隐式表征方法,将控制器视为通过已知静态激活映射闭合的可训练线性互联结构,使适定性及李雅普诺夫/IQC分析易于处理。针对有限维线性时不变(LTI)被控对象,首先建立完整分析理论:包括用于适定性的Perron-Frobenius与范数条件、用于指数稳定的LMI/IQC证书,以及用于折扣无限时域二次性能的LMI。随后将综合问题形式化为兼容认证的启发式搜索:训练过程施加显式适定性约束,利用隐式微分公式获取梯度,仅当独立后训练的LMI或区域可接受性检查可行时才接受控制器。最后建立约束控制分离结果:对于具有硬执行器限幅的特定标量不稳定系统,一个INC实现的折扣无限时域代价严格小于任何允许的有限阶动态线性控制器。附加结果涵盖二次状态-输入代价、与线性静态输出反馈的比较,以及可计算的上下界证书。数值示例展示了机制与经认证的性能表现。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Implicit neural controllers (INCs) are static feedback laws that are evaluated through an algebraic fixed point {equation}; they include as special cases neural network controllers. We propose a so-called implicit representation of neural networks as a key enabling device that exposes the controller as a trainable linear interconnection closed through a known static activation map, thereby making well-posedness and Lyapunov/IQC analysis mathematically easy to handle. For finite-dimensional LTI plants, we first develop a rigorous analysis theory for a given INC, including Perron--Frobenius and norm conditions for well posedness, LMI/IQC certificates for exponential stability, and LMIs for discounted infinite-horizon quadratic performance. We then formulate synthesis as a certification-compatible heuristic search: training is carried out under explicit well-posedness constraints, implicit-differentiation formulas provide gradients, and the resulting controller is accepted only after independent post-training LMIs or regional admissibility checks are feasible. Finally, we establish constrained-control separation results: for a specific scalar unstable plant with hard actuator bounds, an INC achieves a strictly smaller discounted infinite-horizon cost than any admissible finite-order dynamic linear controller. Additional results cover quadratic state-input costs, comparison with linear static output feedback, and computable upper/lower-bound certificates. Numerical examples illustrate the mechanism and the resulting certified performance.
