contents In this paper, we investigate a model-free optimal control design that minimizes an infinite horizon average expected quadratic cost of states and control actions subject to a probabilistic risk or chance constraint using input-output data. In particular, we consider linear time-invariant systems and design an optimal controller within the class of linear state feedback control. Three different policy gradient (PG) based algorithms, natural policy gradient (NPG), Gauss-Newton policy gradient (GNPG), and deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG), are developed, and compared with the optimal risk-neutral linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) and a scenario-based model predictive control (MPC) technique via numerical simulations. The convergence properties and the accuracy of all the algorithms are compared numerically. We also establish analytical convergence properties of the NPG and GNPG algorithms under the known model scenario, while the proof of convergence for the unknown model scenario is part of our ongoing work.
