contents This paper presents a method to synthesize neural network controllers to maximize reward subject to the hard constraint that the feedback system of plant and controller be dissipative, certifying requirements such as stability and $L_2$ gain bounds. It considers nonlinear and uncertain plants, modeled as the interconnection of a linear time-invariant (LTI) system and an uncertainty block, which incorporates nonlinearities. The uncertainty of the plant and the activation functions of the neural network are both described using integral quadratic constraints (IQCs). First, a dissipativity condition is derived for uncertain LTI systems. Second, this condition is used to construct a linear matrix inequality (LMI) which can be used to synthesize neural network controllers. Finally, this convex condition is used in a projection-based training method to synthesize neural network controllers with dissipativity guarantees. Numerical examples on an inverted pendulum and a flexible rod on a cart are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.
