On the Ergodic Control of Ensembles in the Presence of Non-linear Filters

Abstract

In many sharing-economy applications, as well as in conventional economy applications, one wishes to regulate the behaviour of an ensemble of agents with guarantees on both the regulation of the ensemble in aggregate and the revenue or quality of service associated with each agent. Previous work [Automatica, Volume 108, 108483, arXiv:1807.03256 ] has developed guarantees of unique ergodicity when there are linear filters. Here, we extend the guarantees to systems including non-linear elements, such as non-linear filters
