This research paper investigates the stability and convergence of augmented primal-dual dynamics, particularly when constraint values are estimated from samples. The study identifies that unbiased constraint observations can lead to a biased augmented multiplier signal, which can shift the equilibria of the mean dynamics. To counteract this bias, the paper proposes a recursive estimation of constraint values before generating the augmented multiplier signal. For smooth convex conic problems, the authors establish boundedness of primal, dual, and estimation states, vanishing estimation error, and almost sure convergence to a KKT point under specific regularity conditions.
