arXiv:2604. 01525v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We give a short linear-algebraic proof of the inequality $$ \|x\|_1\,\|x\|_\infty \le \frac{1+\sqrt{n}}{2}\,\|x\|_2^2, $$ valid for every $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$.
arXiv:2608. 15558v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For $m\geq 2$, let $c_p(m)$ be the all-dimensional best constant in $$ \left\|\sum_{k=1}^m A_k\right\|_p \leq c_p(m)\left\|\sum_{k=1}^m |A_k|\right\|_p.
arXiv:2603. 28956v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The minimum-norm interpolator (MNI) framework has recently attracted considerable attention as a tool for understanding generalization in overparameterized models, such as neural networks.
arXiv:2609.38834v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Contrastive learning is a successful paradigm for learning $d$-dimensional geometric representations from a collection of ``anchor--positive--negativ...
arXiv:2609. 20687v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study first-order black-box convex optimization over an $\ell_p$-ball for objectives Lipschitz in the $\ell_q$-norm, solving in the affirmative the nonsmooth version of the COLT open question (Guz15b) on whether the geometry of a smaller feasible set ($p < q$) can improve convergence rates in convex optimization, and matching prior lower bounds up to logarithmic factors.
arXiv:2608. 03368v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: For $n$ unit vectors $x_1,\ldots,x_n \in \mathbb{R}^d$, we study the continuous ReLU derivative Gram matrix $H$, whose entries are obtained by averaging pairwise gated inner products over a standard Gaussian direction.
arXiv:2511.09801v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This work extends the recently introduced Alpha-Procrustes family of Riemannian metrics for symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices by inc...
arXiv:2607. 21579v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Barzilai--Borwein (BB) method has shown strong practical performance in continuous optimization, yet its convergence dynamics remains poorly understood.
arXiv:2607. 24235v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Over the past 20 years, kernel discrepancies have been leveraged as a highly powerful tool for quantifying the disagreement of distributions, with numerous successful applications in two-sample, goodness-of-fit, and independence testing, among others.
arXiv:2607. 18652v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We establish improved lower bounds on the minimax expected regret of stochastic bandit convex optimization for $1$-Lipschitz functions on the $d$-dimensional Euclidean ball.
For an arbitrary isotropic log-concave distribution $P$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$, we prove that the polynomial $(Cm)^m\|v\|_2^m - \mathbb{E}_{X\sim P}\langle X,v\rangle^m$ is a sum of squares for every even $m\ge2$, where $C>0$ is a universal constant. This removes the dependence on the Poincaré constant in the theorem of Kothari and Steinhardt (arXiv:1711.
arXiv:2610. 00545v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study adversarial online maximization of nonnegative, non-monotone DR-submodular functions over compact convex down-closed sets.
arXiv:2608. 17802v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Let $\varepsilon_1,\ldots,\varepsilon_n$ be independent Rademacher signs and let $a=(a_1,\ldots,a_n)\in\R^n$ satisfy the normalization below.
