Mutual Information Optimal Density Control of Linear Systems and Generalized Schr\"{o}dinger Bridges with Reference Refinement

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.09349v1 Announce Type: cross We consider a mutual information (MI) regularized version of optimal density control of a discrete-time linear system. MI optimal control has been proposed as an extension of maximum entropy optimal control to trade off between control performance and benefits provided by stochastic inputs. MI regularization induces stochasticity in the policy, which poses challenges for applications of MI optimal control in safety-critical scenarios.
