The growing scale and complexity of modern data centers present major challenges in balancing energy efficiency with outage risk. Although Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) shows strong potential for intelligent control, its deployment in mission-critical systems is limited by data scarcity and the lack of real-time pre-evaluation mechanisms. This paper introduces the Dual-Loop Control Framework (DLCF), a digital twin-based architecture designed to overcome these challenges. The framework comprises three core entities: the physical system, a digital twin, and a policy reservoir of diverse DRL agents. These components interact through a dual-loop mechanism involving real-time data acquisition, data assimilation, DRL policy training, pre-evaluation, and expert verification. Theoretical analysis shows how DLCF can improve sample efficiency, generalization, safety, and optimality. Leveraging DLCF, we implemented the DCVerse platform and validated it through case studies on a real-world data center cooling system. The evaluation shows that our approach achieves up to 4.09% energy savings over conventional control strategies without violating SLA requirements. Additionally, the framework improves policy interpretability and supports more trustworthy DRL deployment. This work provides a foundation for reliable AI-based control in data centers and points toward future extensions for holistic, system-wide optimization.

Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) has been increasingly adopted in many real-world applications. While MARL enables decentralized deployment on resource-constrained edge devices, it suffers from severe non-stationarity due to the synchronous updates of agent policies. This non stationarity results in unstable training and poor policy con vergence, especially as the number of agents increases. In this paper, we propose RELED, a scalable MARL framework that integrates large language model (LLM)-driven expert demonstrations with autonomous agent exploration. RELED incorporates a Stationarity-Aware Expert Demonstration module, which leverages theoretical non-stationarity bounds to enhance the quality of LLM-generated expert trajectories, thus providing high reward and training-stable samples for each agent. Moreover, a Hybrid Expert-Agent Policy Optimization module adaptively balances each agent's learning from both expert-generated and agent-generated trajectories, accelerating policy convergence and improving generalization. Extensive experiments with real city networks based on OpenStreetMap demonstrate that RELED achieves superior performance compared to state-of-the-art MARL methods.

Probability density estimation is a core problem of statistics and signal processing. Moment methods are an important means of density estimation, but they are generally strongly dependent on the choice of feasible functions, which severely affects the performance. In this paper, we propose a non-classical parametrization for density estimation using sample moments, which does not require the choice of such functions. The parametrization is induced by the squared Hellinger distance, and the solution of it, which is proved to exist and be unique subject to a simple prior that does not depend on data, and can be obtained by convex optimization. Statistical properties of the density estimator, together with an asymptotic error upper bound are proposed for the estimator by power moments. Applications of the proposed density estimator in signal processing tasks are given. Simulation results validate the performance of the estimator by a comparison to several prevailing methods. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed estimator is the first one in the literature for which the power moments up to an arbitrary even order exactly match the sample moments, while the true density is not assumed to fall within specific function classes.
