| contents | This paper proposes a novel learning-based approach for achieving exponential stabilization of nonlinear control-affine systems. We leverage the Control Contraction Metrics (CCMs) framework to co-synthesize Neural Contraction Metrics (NCMs) and Neural Network (NN) controllers. First, we transform the infinite-dimensional semi-definite program (SDP) for CCM computation into a tractable inequality feasibility problem using element-wise bounds of matrix-valued functions. The terms in the inequality can be efficiently computed by our novel algorithms. Second, we propose a free parametrization of NCMs guaranteeing positive definiteness and the satisfaction of a partial differential equation, regardless of trainable parameters. Third, this parametrization and the inequality condition enable the design of contractivity-enforcing regularizers, which can be incorporated while designing the NN controller for exponential stabilization of the underlying nonlinear systems. Furthermore, when the training loss goes to zero, we provide formal guarantees on verification of the NCM and the exponentional stabilization under the NN controller. Finally, we validate our method through benchmark experiments on set-point stabilization and increasing the region of attraction of a locally pre-stabilized closed-loop system. |
