Abstract: In deterministic systems, reinforcement learning-based online approximate optimal control methods typically require a restrictive persistence of excitation (PE) condition for convergence. This paper presents a concurrent learning-based solution to the online approximate optimal regulation problem that eliminates the need for PE. The development is based on the observation that given a model of the system, the Bellman error, which quantifies the deviation of the system Hamiltonian from the optimal Hamiltonian, can be evaluated at any point in the state space. Further, a concurrent learning-based parameter identifier is developed to compensate for parametric uncertainty in the plant dynamics. Uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB) convergence of the system states to the origin, and UUB convergence of the developed policy to the optimal policy are established using a Lyapunov-based analysis, and simulations are performed to demonstrate the performance of the developed controller.
