Researchers have established new theoretical bounds for the last iterate of the stochastic subgradient method (SsGM) when applied to one-dimensional convex Lipschitz objectives. The study demonstrates that with standard fixed step sizes and additive i.i.d. subgradient noise, the optimization error is of order $1/\sqrt{n}$, improving upon existing bounds by removing a logarithmic factor. However, the research also shows that without the i.i.d. assumption, the error can increase to $(\log n)/\sqrt{n}$, indicating that the last iterate of SsGM is suboptimal under certain conditions and resolving a previously open problem.
