Abstract
In this paper we provide provable regret guarantees for an online meta-learning receding horizon control algorithm in an iterative control setting. We consider the setting where, in each iteration the system to be controlled is a linear deterministic system that is different and unknown, the cost for the controller in an iteration is a general additive cost function and there are affine control input constraints. By analysing conditions under which sub-linear regret is achievable, we prove that the meta-learning online receding horizon controller achieves an average of the dynamic regret for the controller cost that is O((1+1/√N)T^3/4) with the number of iterations N. Thus, we show that the worst regret for learning within an iteration improves with experience of more iterations, with guarantee on rate of improvement.
