Nesterov trajectories are locally minimizing only for p=4, new paper finds

A new research paper explores the conditions under which Nesterov's optimization method produces trajectories that are eventually locally minimizing. The study establishes a connection between this property and the nonnegativity of a specific Schrödinger operator. For power objectives, the research demonstrates that Nesterov trajectories are eventually locally minimizing only when the exponent is exactly 4, linking this finding to the stability of semilinear elliptic equations.

    When Are Nesterov Trajectories Eventually Locally Minimizing?

    arXiv:2610.33341v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We revisit the variational characterization of Nesterov's celebrated method and study when Nesterov trajectories are eventually locally minimizing in a variational sense, a notion that we define precisely. We show that this questi…
