Abstract

This paper extends the Willems' Fundamental Lemma to nonlinear control-affine systems using the Koopman bilinear realization. This enables us to bypass the Extended Dynamic Mode Decomposition (EDMD)-based system identification step in conventional Koopman-based methods and design controllers for nonlinear systems directly from data. Leveraging this result, we develop a Data-Enabled Predictive Control (DeePC) framework for nonlinear systems with unknown dynamics. A case study demonstrates that our direct data-driven control method achieves improved optimality com- pared to conventional Koopman-based methods. Furthermore, in examples where an exact Koopman realization with a finite-dimensional lifting function set of the controlled nonlinear system does not exist, our method exhibits advanced robustness to finite Koopman approximation errors compared to existing methods.
