This paper presents a system identification framework -- inspired by multi-task learning -- to estimate the dynamics of a given number of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems jointly by leveraging structural similarities across the systems.

Moreover, we show that the interconnected system tracks the solution trajectory of the underlying optimization problem up to an error that depends on the approximation errors of the neural network and on the time-variability of the optimization problem; the latter originates from time-varying safety and performance objectives, input constraints, and unknown disturbances.

The paper investigates the problem of estimating the state of a time-varying system with a linear measurement model; in particular, the paper considers the case where the number of measurements available can be smaller than the number of states.

Approaches for the design of time-varying or online first-order optimization methods are discussed, with emphasis on algorithms that can handle errors in the gradient, as may arise when the gradient is estimated.

The online proximal-gradient method is inexact, in the sense that: (i) it relies on an approximate first-order information of the smooth component of the cost; and, (ii) the proximal operator (with respect to the non-smooth term) may be computed only up to a certain precision.
