    Zeroth-Order Optimization on Subsets of Symmetric Matrices With Application to MPC Tuning
    Maass, A ; Manzie, C ; Shames, I ; Nakada, H (IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2021-11-08)
    This article provides a zeroth-order optimization framework for nonsmooth and possibly nonconvex 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 nonconvex cases. 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 nonconvex complexity bounds are novel for the class of optimization problems that 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 the industrial implementation of these architectures. To demonstrate the framework, we consider the problem of MIMO diesel air-path control and implement 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.
