Abstract: The paper proposes a novel method for constructing a global control policy, valid everywhere in the state space of a dynamical system, from a set of solutions computed for specific initial states in that space by means of differential dynamic programming. The global controller chooses controls based on elements of the pre-computed solutions, leveraging the property that these solutions compute not only nominal state and control trajectories from the initial states, but also a set of linear controllers that can stabilize the system around the nominal trajectories, as well as a set of localized estimators of the optimal cost-to-go for system states around the nominal states. An empirical verification of three variants of the algorithm on two benchmark problems demonstrates that making use of the cost-to-go estimators results in the best performance (lowest average cost) and often leads to dramatic reduction in the number of pre-computed solutions that have to be stored in memory, which in its turn speeds up control computation in real time.
