Nonlinear Data-Enabled Prediction and Control

Abstract: The Willems' fundamental lemma, which characterizes linear dynamics with measured trajectories, has found successful applications in controller design and signal processing, which has driven a broad research interest in its extension to nonlinear systems. In this work, we propose to apply the fundamental lemma to a reproducing kernel Hilbert space in order to extend its application to a class of nonlinear systems and we show its application in prediction and in predictive control.
