Dual Control: On Exploration–Exploitation in Linear Systems
Abstract: The term "dual control" was introduced by Feldbaum in 1960 to describe the tradeoff between exploration and exploitation in the context of systems whose parameters are initially unknown and must be learned by active probing. The lecture will compare recent work on minimax dynamic games for dual control with two dominating branches of past literature: self-tuning adaptive control and statistical regret minimization. In particular, we will show that Feldbaum's hyperstate, which combines the physical state with an information state, has a particularly clean representation in the minimax case, enabling explicit expressions for optimal dual controllers.
