New Research Establishes Lower Bounds for Randomized Optimization Methods

A new paper published on arXiv introduces a distributional lower bound for randomized first-order linear minimization oracle methods applied to strongly convex sets. This research addresses a gap in existing literature, which primarily focused on deterministic methods or specific algorithms like the standard Frank--Wolfe algorithm. The findings establish a theoretical limit on the performance of these randomized optimization techniques, indicating that randomization may not circumvent the established error bounds. AI

    Lower Bounds for Randomized Linear-Oracle Optimization over Strongly Convex Sets

    arXiv:2610.13590v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent results [arXiv:2602.04378, arXiv:2602.22608] have established worst-case objective-error lower bounds of order $1/T^2$ after $T$ linear minimization oracle (LMO) calls, matching the upper bound [arXiv:1406.1305] in its depe…
