arXiv:2406. 13041v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Lower-bound analyses for nonconvex strongly-concave minimax optimization problems have shown that stochastic first-order algorithms require at least $\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon^{-4})$ sample complexity to find an $\varepsilon$-stationary point.

The paper introduces Split-Client, a task‑parallel scheme that separates Hessian factorization (performed by a curvature client in the background) from gradient updates (performed by a gradient client using the latest available Hessian). It proves that the resulting first‑order stationarity bound depends on the average age of the curvature matrix rather than its maximum, and extends this analysis to subsampled and inexact Hessians. Experiments on two LIBSVM datasets show that this approach reduces the objective faster in wall‑clock time than both Lazy and Vanilla cubic Newton, especially at intermediate accuracy levels.
