Mean Field Control by Stochastic Koopman Operator via a Spectral Method

Yuhan Zhao, Juntao Chen, Yingdong Lu, Quanyan Zhu

Abstract

Mean field control provides a robust framework for coordinating large-scale populations with complex interactions and has wide applications across diverse fields. However, the inherent nonlinearity and the presence of unknown system dynamics pose significant challenges for developing effective analytic or numerical solutions. There is a pressing need for data-driven methodologies to construct accurate models and facilitate efficient planning and control. To this end, we leverage Koopman operator theory to advance solution methods for mean field control problems. Our approach involves exploring stochastic Koopman operators using spectral analysis techniques. Through Koopman decomposition, we derive a linear model for mean field control problems in a data-driven fashion. Finally, we develop a model predictive control framework to achieve robust control and reduce the computational complexity for mean field control problems, thereby enhancing the efficacy and applicability of mean field control solutions in various domains.

Key Result

Theorem II.1

For any bounded self-adjoint operator $A$ on a Hilbert space ${\mathcal{H}}$, there exists a resolution of identity, $E_t$, supported on $[-\|A\|, \|A\|]$ with $\|A\|$ being the operator norm of $A$. Furthermore, the operator $A$ has a spectral integration representation $A=\int t dE_t$.
