Learning Stabilizable Deep Dynamics Models

Abstract: When neural networks are used to model dynamics, properties such as stability of the dynamics are generally not guaranteed. In contrast, there is a recent method for learning the dynamics of autonomous systems that guarantees global exponential stability using neural networks. In this paper, we propose a new method for learning the dynamics of input-affine control systems. An important feature is that a stabilizing controller and control Lyapunov function of the learned model are obtained as well. Moreover, the proposed method can also be applied to solving Hamilton-Jacobi inequalities. The usefulness of the proposed method is examined through numerical examples.
