Complexity of L_p-Lipschitz constants for ICNNs proven W[1]-hard

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have investigated the parameterized complexity of calculating $L_p$-Lipschitz constants for input-convex neural networks (ICNNs). This problem is equivalent to maximizing the $L_p$-norm over a zonotope. While algorithms exist for $L_1$ and $L_ ext{inf}$ norms, the complexity for other $L_p$ norms remained an open question. The study proves that for fixed rational $p$ between 1 and infinity, maximizing the $L_p$-norm over a zonotope is W[1]-hard with respect to the dimension, implying that brute-force enumeration is nearly optimal under the Exponential Time Hypothesis. These findings resolve open problems in the field and have implications for computing Lipschitz constants of two-layer ReLU ICNNs. AI
