New algorithm improves convergence rates for variational inequalities

Researchers have developed a new stochastic algorithm incorporating Halpern anchoring to address constrained convex-concave problems and monotone variational inequalities. This single-loop, single-call algorithm utilizes an unbiased sample of the gradient operator at each iteration, making it suitable for monotone games with noisy feedback. The algorithm achieves an anytime last-iterate convergence rate of O(t^{-1/4}) for both gradient-mapping norm and restricted gap, surpassing the previous best rate of O(t^{-1/5}) for the restricted gap.
