A Memory Efficient Unified Algorithm for Online Learning of Linear Dynamical Systems

arXiv:2607.02050v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Motivated by the challenge of stabilizing a general unknown linear dynamical system (LDS) from observations, we study the natural prerequisite of online prediction. Our goal is to achieve sublinear regret with a memory footprint that adapts to the intrinsic complexity of the dynamics rather than the full hidden -- state dimension. We focus on the practically central regime of systems with low instability complexity -- eigenvalues outside the real stable interval that do not decay rapidly, together with non-semisimple modes-potentially embedded in
