The paper introduces a straightforward framework that transforms dynamic regret minimization into switching regret minimization by constructing an unbiased random sequence for any comparator sequence. Using this reduction, the authors derive dynamic regret bounds for strongly convex and exp-concave losses of “~O(T^{1/3}P_T^{2/3})” and for general convex losses of “O(√{T(1+P_T)})”, matching known minimax optimal results. The approach leverages off-the-shelf switching regret algorithms and controlled variance to achieve these bounds.

The paper studies online convex optimization when the learner can only query an exact linear optimization oracle. It establishes a dimension‑free minimax expected regret bound of θ(GD max{√T, T/(1+min{Q,BT})^{1/4}}) for convex G‑Lipschitz losses, where Q is the total oracle budget and B the per‑round limit. The authors provide matching lower and upper bounds, showing how strict per‑round or total‑budget constraints affect the achievable regret, and extend the analysis to smooth losses with curvature‑dependent bounds.

arXiv:2608. 25551v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is typically analyzed at a deterministic horizon chosen before the algorithm is run, even though practical stopping decisions are made adaptively by inspecting the evolving trajectory.
