The proposed algorithm leverages forward-difference gradient estimation, optimistic and pessimistic action sets to achieve sublinear regret and zero constraint violation in a multi-point feedback setting for safe online convex optimization. The algorithm achieves O(d√T) regret and zero constraint violation under the assumption of smooth and strongly convex constraint functions.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The paper proposes an algorithm that uses forward-difference gradient estimation and optimistic/pessimistic action sets to solve a safe online convex optimization problem with multi-point feedback. The goal is to achieve sublinear regret and zero constraint violation, which is important for real-world applications where safety requirements are stringent.
