arXiv:2607. 27073v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study online convex optimization (OCO) in non-stationary environments under heavy-tailed noise, where the stochastic gradient oracle admits only a finite $p$-th central moment for some $p \in (1, 2]$.

The paper studies contextual bilateral trade with full feedback, showing that action-independent observations eliminate the usual polynomial adaptation penalty seen in heavy-tailed bandits. It presents fully parameter-free algorithms that achieve oracle minimax regret rates without knowing the moment order or scale, and derives new regret bounds for both parametric and nonparametric settings. The key technical insight is a paired squared‑loss statistic whose noise cancels, enabling model selection and yielding regret rates that interpolate between classical nonparametric and linear extremes.

arXiv:2510. 22819v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The convergence analysis of online learning algorithms is central to machine learning theory, where the last-iterate convergence is particularly important, as it captures the learner's actual decisions and describes the evolution of the learning process over time.

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:2502. 16744v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In adversarial Constrained Online Convex Optimization (COCO), a learner selects actions from a fixed convex set while seeking both low regret and low cumulative constraint violation (CCV) under time-varying constraints.
