On the Effect of Quadratic Regularization in Direct Data-Driven LQRManuel Klädtke, Feiran Zhao, Florian Dörfler et al.
This paper proposes an explainability concept for direct data-driven linear quadratic regulation (LQR) with quadratic regularization. Our perspective follows the parametric effect of regularization, an analysis approach that translates regularization costs from auxiliary variables to system quantities, enabling intuitive interpretations. The framework further enables the elimination of auxiliary variables, thereby reducing computational complexity. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach and the identified effect of regularization via simulations.
