The paper investigates Polyak-type step-size strategies for extragradient methods applied to deterministic and stochastic monotone root-finding problems. It shows that the projection-based correction in deterministic extragradient can be derived by minimizing an upper bound on the distance to a solution, mirroring classical Polyak step-size construction. The authors provide a unified deterministic analysis that does not require global Lipschitz continuity, achieving sublinear convergence under H"older or “(L0, L1)-Lipschitz” conditions and linear convergence with strong monotonicity, and extend the approach to stochastic settings with both direct and decreasing step-size variants.

The paper introduces single-loop stochastic projected damped extragradient (SPDE) and its variance-reduced variant (VR-SPDE) for stochastic nonconvex–(strongly) concave minimax problems. It provides SFO complexity bounds for achieving game stationarity and optimization stationarity, improving upon previous multi-loop methods while maintaining a single-loop structure. The results claim the best-known SFO complexities for these stationarity criteria among single-loop stochastic first‑order methods.
