We study the online problems related to controlling a linear time-invariant systems with noisy dynamics where either: (1) onlinevadversarially chosen quadratic losses and known dynamics, or (2) unknown dynamics but known quadratic losses. We present an efficient online learning algorithms for both setting with vanishing regret.

Based on joint works with Alon Cohen, Avinatan Hassidim, Tomer Koren, Nevena Lazic, and Kunal Talwar
