This paper provides a zeroth-order optimisation framework for non-smooth and possibly non-convex cost functions with matrix parameters that are real and symmetric. We provide complexity bounds on the number of iterations required to ensure a given accuracy level for both the convex and non-convex case. The derived complexity bounds for the convex case are less conservative than available bounds in the literature since we exploit the symmetric structure of the underlying matrix space. Moreover, the non-convex complexity bounds are novel for the class of optimisation problems we consider. The utility of the framework is evident in the suite of applications that use symmetric matrices as tuning parameters. Of primary interest here is the challenge of tuning the gain matrices in model predictive controllers, as this is a challenge known to be inhibiting industrial implementation of these architectures. To demonstrate the framework we consider the problem of MIMO diesel air-path control, and consider implementing the framework iteratively ``in-the-loop to reduce tracking error on the output channels. Both simulations and experimental results are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework over different engine drive cycles.

We study numerical optimisation algorithms that use zeroth-order information to minimise time-varying geodesically-convex cost functions on Riemannian manifolds. In the Euclidean setting, zeroth-order algorithms have received a lot of attention in bo
th the time-varying and time-invariant case. However, the extension to Riemannian manifolds is much less developed. We focus on Hadamard manifolds, which are a special class of Riemannian manifolds with global nonpositive curvature that offer convenient grounds for the generalisation of convexity notions. Specifically, we derive bounds on the expected instantaneous tracking error, and we provide algorithm parameter values that minimise the algorithms performance. Our results illustrate how the manifold geometry in terms of the sectional curvature affects these bounds. Additionally, we provide dynamic regret bounds for this online optimisation setting. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first bounds on tracking error and dynamic regret for online zeroth-order Riemannian optimisation. Lastly, via numerical simulations, we demonstrate the applicability of our algorithm on an online Karcher mean problem.
We develop a model predictive control (MPC) design for systems with discrete-time dynamics evolving on smooth manifolds. We show that the properties of conventional MPC for dynamics evolving on $mathbb R^n$ are preserved and we develop a design proce
dure for achieving similar properties. We also demonstrate that for discrete-time dynamics on manifolds with Euler characteristic not equal to 1, there do not exist globally stabilizing, continuous control laws. The MPC law is able to achieve global asymptotic stability on these manifolds, because the MPC law may be discontinuous. We apply the method to spacecraft attitude control, where the spacecraft attitude evolves on the Lie group SO(3) and for which a continuous globally stabilizing control law does not exist. In this case, the MPC law is discontinuous and achieves global stability.
In this paper, we consider a stochastic distributed nonconvex optimization problem with the cost function being distributed over $n$ agents having access only to zeroth-order (ZO) information of the cost. This problem has various machine learning app
lications. As a solution, we propose two distributed ZO algorithms, in which at each iteration each agent samples the local stochastic ZO oracle at two points with an adaptive smoothing parameter. We show that the proposed algorithms achieve the linear speedup convergence rate $mathcal{O}(sqrt{p/(nT)})$ for smooth cost functions and $mathcal{O}(p/(nT))$ convergence rate when the global cost function additionally satisfies the Polyak--Lojasiewicz (P--L) condition, where $p$ and $T$ are the dimension of the decision variable and the total number of iterations, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first linear speedup result for distributed ZO algorithms, which enables systematic processing performance improvements by adding more agents. We also show that the proposed algorithms converge linearly when considering deterministic centralized optimization problems under the P--L condition. We demonstrate through numerical experiments the efficiency of our algorithms on generating adversarial examples from deep neural networks in comparison with baseline and recently proposed centralized and distributed ZO algorithms.
This paper investigates the stochastic distributed nonconvex optimization problem of minimizing a global cost function formed by the summation of $n$ local cost functions. We solve such a problem by involving zeroth-order (ZO) information exchange. I
n this paper, we propose a ZO distributed primal-dual coordinate method (ZODIAC) to solve the stochastic optimization problem. Agents approximate their own local stochastic ZO oracle along with coordinates with an adaptive smoothing parameter. We show that the proposed algorithm achieves the convergence rate of $mathcal{O}(sqrt{p}/sqrt{T})$ for general nonconvex cost functions. We demonstrate the efficiency of proposed algorithms through a numerical example in comparison with the existing state-of-the-art centralized and distributed ZO algorithms.
We present Free-MESSAGEp, the first zeroth-order algorithm for convex mean-semideviation-based risk-aware learning, which is also the first three-level zeroth-order compositional stochastic optimization algorithm, whatsoever. Using a non-trivial exte
nsion of Nesterovs classical results on Gaussian smoothing, we develop the Free-MESSAGEp algorithm from first principles, and show that it essentially solves a smoothed surrogate to the original problem, the former being a uniform approximation of the latter, in a useful, convenient sense. We then present a complete analysis of the Free-MESSAGEp algorithm, which establishes convergence in a user-tunable neighborhood of the optimal solutions of the original problem, as well as explicit convergence rates for both convex and strongly convex costs. Orderwise, and for fixed problem parameters, our results demonstrate no sacrifice in convergence speed compared to existing first-order methods, while striking a certain balance among the condition of the problem, its dimensionality, as well as the accuracy of the obtained results, naturally extending previous results in zeroth-order risk-neutral learning.
