STABILITY OF LEARNING CONTROL WITH DISTURBANCES AND UNCERTAIN INITIAL CONDITIONS

In this note, we investigate the effects of state disturbances, output noise, and errors in initial conditions on a class of learning control algorithms. We present a simple learning algorithm and exhibit, via a concise proof, bounds on the asymptotic trajectory errors for the learned input and the corresponding state and output trajectories. Furthermore, these bounds are continuous functions of the bounds on the initial condition errors, state disturbances, and output noise, and the bounds are zero in the absence of these disturbances.
