Accelerated Extragradient-Type Methods -- Part 2: Generalization and Sublinear Convergence Rates under Co-Hypomonotonicity

Abstract

Following the first part of our project, this paper comprehensively studies two types of extragradient-based methods: anchored extragradient and Nesterov's accelerated extragradient for solving [non]linear inclusions (and, in particular, equations), primarily under the Lipschitz continuity and the co-hypomonotonicity assumptions. We unify and generalize a class of anchored extragradient methods for monotone inclusions to a wider range of schemes encompassing existing algorithms as special cases. We establish $\mathcal{O}(1/k)$ last-iterate convergence rates on the residual norm of the underlying mapping for this general framework and then specialize it to obtain convergence guarantees for specific instances, where $k$ denotes the iteration counter. We extend our approach to a class of anchored Tseng's forward-backward-forward splitting methods to obtain a broader class of algorithms for solving co-hypomonotone inclusions. Again, we analyze $\mathcal{O}(1/k)$ last-iterate convergence rates for this general scheme and specialize it to obtain convergence results for existing and new variants. We generalize and unify Nesterov's accelerated extra-gradient method to a new class of algorithms that covers existing schemes as special instances while generating new variants. For these schemes, we can prove $\mathcal{O}(1/k)$ last-iterate convergence rates for the residual norm under co-hypomonotonicity, covering a class of nonmonotone problems. We propose another novel class of Nesterov's accelerated extragradient methods to solve inclusions. Interestingly, these algorithms achieve both $\mathcal{O}(1/k)$ and $o(1/k)$ last-iterate convergence rates, and also the convergence of iterate sequences under co-hypomonotonicity and Lipschitz continuity. Finally, we provide a set of numerical experiments encompassing different scenarios to validate our algorithms and theoretical guarantees.

Genericity of Polyak-Lojasiewicz Inequalities for Entropic Mean-Field Neural ODEs

We address the behavior of idealized deep residual neural networks (ResNets), modeled via an optimal control problem set over continuity (or adjoint transport) equations. The continuity equations describe the statistical evolution of the features in the asymptotic regime where the layers of the network form a continuum. The velocity field is expressed through the network activation function, which is itself viewed as a function of the statistical distribution of the network parameters (weights and biases). From a mathematical standpoint, the control is interpreted in a relaxed sense, taking values in the space of probability measures over the set of parameters. We investigate the optimal behavior of the network when the cost functional arises from a regression problem and includes an additional entropic regularization term on the distribution of the parameters. In this framework, we focus in particular on the existence of stable optimizers --that is, optimizers at which the Hessian of the cost is non-degenerate. We show that, for an open and dense set of initial data, understood here as probability distributions over features and associated labels, there exists a unique stable global minimizer of the control problem. Moreover, we show that such minimizers satisfy a local Polyak--Lojasiewicz inequality, which can lead to exponential convergence of the corresponding gradient descent when the initialization lies sufficiently close to the optimal parameters. This result thus demonstrates the genericity (with respect to the distribution of features and labels) of the Polyak--Lojasiewicz condition in ResNets with a continuum of layers and under entropic penalization.

A regret minimization approach to fixed-point iterations

We propose a conversion scheme that turns regret minimizing algorithms into fixed point iterations, with convergence guarantees following from regret bounds. The resulting iterations can be seen as a grand extension of the classical Krasnoselskii--Mann iterations, as the latter are recovered by converting the Online Gradient Descent algorithm. This approach yields new simple iterations for finding fixed points of non-self operators. We also focus on converting algorithms from the AdaGrad family of regret minimizers, and thus obtain fixed point iterations with adaptive guarantees of a new kind. Numerical experiments on various problems demonstrate faster convergence of AdaGrad-based fixed point iterations over Krasnoselskii--Mann iterations.

Variational Analysis in Spectral Decomposition Systems

This work is concerned with the variational analysis of functions defined on Euclidean spaces whose values depend solely on certain invariants (``spectrum'') of their arguments, a class we term ``spectral functions.'' Building on our previous work \cite{PartI} on the convex analysis of such functions, we work in the abstract framework of spectral decomposition systems, which covers a wide range of previously studied settings, including eigenvalue decomposition of Hermitian matrices and singular value decomposition of rectangular matrices, and allows the derivation of new results in more general settings such as normal decomposition systems. The main results of this work provide constructive formulae for computing the regular, limiting, and Clarke subdifferentials of a spectral function in terms of the corresponding objects of the associated invariant function. Finally, we obtain a generalization of Lidski\uı's theorem on the spectrum of additive perturbations of Hermitian matrices to arbitrary spectral decomposition systems.
