AB - In this paper, we consider the periodic referencetracking problem in the framework of batch-mode reinforcement learning, which studies methods for solving optimal control problems from the sole knowledge of a set of trajectories. In particular, we adapt an existing batch-mode reinforcement learning algorithm, known as Fitted Q iteration, to the periodic reference tracking problem. The presented periodic reference tracking algorithm explicitly exploits a priori knowledge of the future values of the reference trajectory and its periodicity. We discuss the properties of our approach and illustrate it onthe problem of reference tracking for a synthetic biology gene regulatory network known as the generalised repressilator. This system can produce decaying but long-lived oscillations, which makes it an interesting system for the tracking problem. In our companion paper submitted to this conference we also take a look at the regulation problem of the toggle switch system, where the main goal is to drive the systems states to a specific bounded region in the state space.
