Information-Theoretic Performance Limitations of Feedback Control: Underlying Entropic Laws and Generic $\mathcal{L}_{p}$ Bounds
In this paper, we utilize information theory to study the fundamental performance limitations of generic feedback systems, where both the controller and the plant may be any causal functions/mappings while the disturbance can be with any distributions. More specifically, we obtain fundamental $\mathcal{L}_p$ bounds on the control error, which are shown to be completely characterized by the conditional entropy of the disturbance, based upon the entropic laws that are inherent in any feedback systems. We also discuss the generality and implications (in, e.g., fundamental limits of learning-based control) of the obtained bounds.

An Information-Theoretic Analysis of Discrete-Time Control and Filtering Limitations by the I-MMSE Relationships
Fundamental limitations or performance trade-offs/limits are important properties and constraints of both control and filtering systems. Among various trade-off metrics, total information rate that characterizes the sens…
How are policy gradient methods affected by the limits of control?
We study stochastic policy gradient methods from the perspective of control-theoretic limitations. Our main result is that ill-conditioned linear systems in the sense of Doyle inevitably lead to noisy gradient estimates.…
