Data-Driven Control Synthesis using Koopman Operator: A Robust Approach

Alireza Karimi, Nathan Russell Powell, Mert Eyuboglu

This paper proposes a data-driven control design method for nonlinear systems that builds upon the Koopman operator framework. In particular, the Koopman operator is used to lift the nonlinear dynamics to a higher-dimensional space where the so-called obse ...
