A Two-Stage, Model-Based Reinforcement Learning Approach for Active Flow Control of Bluff Body Wakes

This paper develops a data-driven, output-feedback approach to the infinite-horizon optimal control of high-dimensional nonlinear systems with unknown and unstable equilibria, using sparse partial observations. The approach builds on the transfer-plus-regulation decomposition of the infinite-horizon problem: a finite-h...
