Mitigating the curse of dimensionality in dynamic programming: approximation, representation, and learning
Wednesday 22 Jan 2020 at 3.10pm, JCMB 5327

Abstract

Almost 60 years ago Richard Bellman coined the expression ”curse of dimensionality” when referring to the overwhelming computational complexity associated to dynamic programming problems. While over the years the curse of dimensionality has become an expression shared in different topics such as compressed sensing, machine learning and classification, it is in the computation of optimal feedback policies where its meaning becomes more evident. In this talk, I will review classical and recent results concerning the numerical approximation of Bellman’s equation over low and high-dimensional spaces, and its relevance in the optimal feedback control of dynamical systems.
