A new paper demonstrates that the Optimistic Multiplicative-Weights Update (OMWU) algorithm converges to a saddle point in smooth convex-concave problems. This addresses a long-standing open question in optimization theory, extending known convergence properties of similar algorithms like OGDA. The proof relies on a novel boundary argument to show that cluster points satisfy KKT inequalities, with assistance from ChatGPT in its development. AI
