arXiv:2607. 23642v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Discrete optimization algorithms are often analyzed through continuous-time limiting ODEs, but a convergence certificate for the ODE is not automatically one for the discrete algorithm.
arXiv:2607. 07204v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Structured preconditioners restrict optimization to a small family of positive metrics, but endpoint condition-number reachability does not measure the geometric effort required to reach a useful metric.
arXiv:2607. 13943v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inspired by interior-point methods (IPM) for structured convex optimization, Kannan and Narayanan introduced the Dikin walk for sampling uniformly from polytopes in 2009.
arXiv:2607. 03503v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph-based semi-supervised learning (SSL) propagates a few labels over a similarity graph by minimizing a Dirichlet-type energy.
arXiv:2605. 23391v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) for coupled multiphysics systems suffer systematic accuracy degradation as inter-equation coupling strengthens.
arXiv:2606. 04031v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Coupled gradient descent--where the update of one parameter block depends on another--underlies bilevel optimization, two-time-scale stochastic approximation, and adversarial training.
arXiv:2607. 06723v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Most gradient-based optimization methods move parameters through a fixed background geometry, even when their internal states implicitly define changing notions of length, curvature, and preconditioning.
arXiv:2607. 03339v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning dissipative dynamics from discrete observations is essential for reliable long-horizon prediction and physically meaningful parameter identification.
arXiv:2606. 09047v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A classical universal stabilization formula offers the practitioner no design freedom: it is a single, parameter-free object.
arXiv:2607. 22982v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Natural Policy Gradient (NPG) is a well-established Reinforcement Learning algorithm that underlies widely used methods such as Trust Region Policy Optimization and Proximal Policy Optimization, both of which have demonstrated strong empirical success.
arXiv:2607. 14576v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose \emph{the sublinear-growth principle} for deep residual architectures -- a sharp stability threshold on the input-magnitude exponent of every residual block's velocity field: $$\|v(x, t)\| \leq c\,\|x\|^q + b, \qquad q \in [0, 1].
arXiv:2607. 25624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Positive quadratic networks admit the low-rank representation f_U(x)=x^top UU^top x, where Uinmathbb{R}^{dtimes r} is identifiable only up to right orthogonal multiplication, representing a rank-r PSD matrix Q=UU^top.
arXiv:2607. 05836v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The limited-memory BFGS (L-BFGS) algorithm is a cornerstone of large-scale optimization due to its linear memory and computational costs.
