Discrete variational integrators and optimal control theory
A geometric derivation of numerical integrators for optimal control problems is proposed. It is based in the classical technique of generating functions adapted to the special features of optimal control problems.
متن کاملVariational Foundations of Online Backpropagation
On-line Backpropagation has become very popular and it has been the subject of in-depth theoretical analyses and massive experimentation. Yet, after almost three decades from its publication, it is still surprisingly the source of tough theoretical questions and of experimental results that are somewhat shrouded in mystery. Although seriously plagued by local minima, the batch-mode version of t...
متن کاملDiscrete variational Hamiltonian mechanics
The main contribution of this paper is to present a canonical choice of a Hamiltonian theory corresponding to the theory of discrete Lagrangian mechanics. We make use of Lagrange duality and follow a path parallel to that used for construction of the Pontryagin principle in optimal control theory. We use duality results regarding sensitivity and separability to show the relationship between gen...
متن کاملDiscrete Variational Autoencoders
Probabilistic models with discrete latent variables naturally capture datasets composed of discrete classes. However, they are difficult to train efficiently, since backpropagation through discrete variables is generally not possible. We introduce a novel class of probabilistic models, comprising an undirected discrete component and a directed hierarchical continuous component, that can be trai...
متن کاملDiscrete Variational Optimal Control
This paper develops numerical methods for optimal control of mechanical systems in the Lagrangian setting. It extends the theory of discrete mechanics to enable the solutions of optimal control problems through the discretization of variational principles. The key point is to solve the optimal control problem as a variational integrator of a specially constructed higher-dimensional system. The ...
