arXiv paper details optimization oracle models and their impact

This paper reviews models for inexact computational oracles in smooth continuous optimization, focusing on their impact on algorithm convergence, computational complexity, and accuracy. It introduces deterministic and stochastic oracle models, detailing their properties through examples like finite-difference approximations and randomized derivative estimators. The review emphasizes the distinction between absolute and relative errors, bias and variance, and different types of stochastic function evaluations, using common analytical tools to compare convergence and complexity guarantees under various oracle conditions.
