arXiv:2607. 10808v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The problem of constrained online convex optimization is considered, where at each round, once a learner commits to an action $x_t \in \mathcal{X} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, a convex loss function $f_t$ and a convex constraint function $g_t$ that drives the constraint $g_t(x)\le 0$ are revealed.
arXiv:2609. 11207v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Convex Optimization with Nested Evolving Feasible Sets (CONES)} was introduced in \cite{CONESVaze} where the objective function \(f\) remains fixed but the feasible region evolves over time as a nested sequence \(S_1 \supseteq S_2 \supseteq \cdots \supseteq S_T\).
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.
