Abstract

In this thesis we use a symbolic approach to provide a methodology to approximately solve optimal control problems. This is done by considering approximate (alternating) simulation relations to formalize the approximation of infinite-state systems by finite-state systems. We show how such relations enable the transfer of optimality information between systems. Since optimal control problems can be solved automatically on finite-state systems by relying on standard computer science tools, optimal control problems can be solved approximately on infinite-state control systems by working with a finite-state system which is a discrete approximation of the infinite-state control system. We show how the costs computed on the approximated finite-state system provide lower and upper bounds for the optimal achievable cost of the infinite-state control system. Moreover, the approach provides also a method to automatically synthesize controllers respecting these bounds.
