On Riccati contraction in time-varying linear-quadratic control

10 May 2023  ·  Jintao Sun, Michael Cantoni ·

Contraction properties of the Riccati operator are studied within the context of non-stationary linear-quadratic optimal control. A lifting approach is used to obtain a bound on the rate of strict contraction, with respect to the Riemannian metric, across a sufficient number of iterations. This number of iterations is related to an assumed uniform controllability and observability property of the dynamics and stage-cost in the original formulation of the problem.
