arXiv:2608. 05460v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This work introduces a proximal stochastic subgradient method for minimizing the sum of an expected cost, whose integrand is potentially nonsmooth and nonconvex, and a lower semicontinuous, prox-bounded function.
arXiv:2504. 09951v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We revisit a classical assumption for analyzing stochastic gradient algorithms where the squared norm of the stochastic subgradient (or the variance for smooth problems) is allowed to grow as fast as the squared norm of the optimization variable.

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.

We study online optimization for a broad class of structured non-convex non-smooth problems where each loss is a composition of a difference-of-convex function with a smooth mapping, and the feasible region is defined by constraint functions of the same kind. We propose a time-smoothed proximal linear algorithm and a local-regret measure based on a proximal residual mapping.
