Min-Max Optimization Needs Exponential Queries, Study Finds

A new research paper explores the computational complexity of min-max optimization for non-convex and non-concave functions. The study demonstrates that finding an approximate stationary point for such functions requires an exponential number of queries, particularly concerning the approximation error and the dimensionality of the problem. AI

    Min-Max Optimization Requires Exponentially Many Queries

    We study the query complexity of min-max optimization of a nonconvex-nonconcave function $f$ over $[0,1]^d \times [0,1]^d$. We show that, given oracle access to $f$ and to its gradient $\nabla f$, any algorithm that finds an $\varepsilon$-approximate stationary point must make a …
