This paper extends earlier results on the adaptive estimation of nonlinear terms in finite dimensional systems utilizing a reproducing kernel Hilbert space to a class of positive real infinite dimensional systems. The simplest class of strictly positive real infinite dimensional systems has collocated input and output operators with the state operator being the generator of an exponentially stable C 0 semigroup on the state space X . The parametrization of the nonlinear term is considered in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space Q and together with the adaptive observer, results in an evolution system considered in X × Q. Using Lyapunov-redesign methods, the adaptive laws for the parameter estimates are derived and the well-posedness of the resulting evolution error system is summarized. The adaptive estimate of the unknown nonlinearity is subsequently used to compensate for the nonlinearity. A special case of finite dimensional systems with an embedded reproducing kernel Hilbert space to handle the nonlinear term is also considered and the convergence results are summarized. A numerical example on a one-dimensional diffusion equation is considered.

Adaptive RKHS-based functional estimation of structurally perturbed second order infinite dimensional systems
This paper proposes a new approach for the adaptive functional estimation of second order infinite dimensional systems with structured perturbations. First, the proposed observer is formulated in the natural second order setting thus ensuring the time derivative of the estimated position is the estimated velocity, and therefore called natural adaptive observer. Assuming that the system does not yield a positive real system when placed in first order form, then the next step in deriving parameter adaptive laws is to assume a form of input-output collocation. Finally, to estimate structured perturbations taking the form of functions of the position and/or velocity outputs, the parameter space is not identified by a finite dimensional Euclidean space but instead is considered in a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space. Such a setting allows one not to be restricted by a priori assumptions on the dimension of the parameter spaces. Convergence of the position and velocity errors in their respective norms is established via the use of a parameter-dependent Lyapunov function, specifically formulated for second order infinite dimensional systems that include appropriately defined norms of the functional errors in the reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. Boundedness of the functional estimates immediately follow and via an appropriate definition of a persistence of excitation condition for functional estimation, a functional convergence follows. When the system is governed by vector second order dynamics, all abstract spaces for the state evolution collapse to a Euclidean space and the natural adaptive observer results simplify. Numerical results of a second order PDE and a multi-degree of freedom finite dimensional mechanical system are presented.

This paper presents an adaptive functional estimation scheme for the fault detection and diagnosis of nonlinear faults in positive real infinite dimensional systems. The system is assumed to satisfy a positive realness condition and the fault, taking the form of a nonlinear function of the output, is assumed to enter the system at an unknown time. The proposed detection and diagnostic observer utilizes a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space as the parameter space and via a Lyapunov redesign approach, the learning scheme for the unknown functional is used for the detection of the fault occurrence, the diagnosis of the fault and finally its accommodation via an adaptive control reconfiguration. Results on parabolic PDEs with either boundary or in-domain actuation and sensing are included.more » « less

The problem of sensor placement for second order infinite dimensional systems is examined within the context of a disturbance-decoupling observer. Such an observer takes advantage of the knowledge of the spatial distribution of disturbances to ensure that the resulting estimation error dynamics are not affected by the temporal component of the disturbances. When such an observer is formulated in a second order setting, it results in a natural observer. Further, when the natural observer is combined with a disturbance decoupling observer, the necessary operator identities needed to ensure the well-posedness of the observer, are expressed in terms of the stiffness, damping, input and output operators. A further extension addresses the question of where to place sensors so that the resulting natural disturbance decoupling observer is optimal with respect to an appropriately selected performance measure. This paper proposes this performance measure which is linked to the mechanical energy of second order infinite dimensional systems. The proposed sensor optimization is demonstrated by a representative PDE in a second order setting.more » « less

We study pure exploration in bandits, where the dimension of the feature representation can be much larger than the number of arms. To overcome the curse of dimensionality, we propose to adaptively embed the feature representation of each arm into a lower-dimensional space and carefully deal with the induced model misspecifications. Our approach is conceptually very different from existing works that can either only handle low-dimensional linear bandits or passively deal with model misspecifications. We showcase the application of our approach to two pure exploration settings that were previously under-studied: (1) the reward function belongs to a possibly infinite-dimensional Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space, and (2) the reward function is nonlinear and can be approximated by neural networks. Our main results provide sample complexity guarantees that only depend on the effective dimension of the feature spaces in the kernel or neural representations. Extensive experiments conducted on both synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate the efficacy of our methods.more » « less

Radial basis functions (RBFs) are prominent examples for reproducing kernels with associated reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs). The convergence theory for the kernel-based interpolation in that space is well understood and optimal rates for the whole RKHS are often known. Schaback added the doubling trick [Math. Comp. 68 (1999), pp. 201–216], which shows that functions having double the smoothness required by the RKHS (along with specific, albeit complicated boundary behavior) can be approximated with higher convergence rates than the optimal rates for the whole space. Other advances allowed interpolation of target functions which are less smooth, and different norms which measure interpolation error. The current state of the art of error analysis for RBF interpolation treats target functions having smoothness up to twice that of the native space, but error measured in norms which are weaker than that required for membership in the RKHS. Motivated by the fact that the kernels and the approximants they generate are smoother than required by the native space, this article extends the doubling trick to error which measures higher smoothness. This extension holds for a family of kernels satisfying easily checked hypotheses which we describe in this article, and includes many prominent RBFs. In the course of the proof, new convergence rates are obtained for the abstract operator considered by Devore and Ron in [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 362 (2010), pp. 6205–6229], and new Bernstein estimates are obtained relating high order smoothness norms to the native space norm.more » « less
