Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

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.

Lower Bound on the Cumulative Constrained Violation for the OGD+Projection algorithm for Constrained Online Convex Optimization (COCO)

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.

Online Non-Monotone DR-Submodular Maximization Matching the Offline $0.401$ Factor

The paper presents an online algorithm that achieves the same $0.401$ approximation factor for maximizing nonnegative, non-monotone DR-submodular functions over compact convex down-closed subsets of the $d$-dimensional unit cube as the best known offline construction. In the full-information value-oracle model, the algorithm attains this factor with sublinear regret, using $O(dT^{1/4})$ oracle calls per round and $O(T^{3/4})$ regret, and offers flexible batching trade-offs. Under a positive-anchor condition, a randomized blocking strategy preserves the $0.401$ factor while achieving $O(T^{5/6})$ one-point bandit regret.

Convex Optimization with Nested Evolving Feasible Sets

arXiv:2605. 07386v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: \emph{Convex Optimization with Nested Evolving Feasible Sets (CONES)} is considered where the objective function \(f\) remains fixed but the feasible region evolves over time as a nested sequence \(S_1 \supseteq S_2 \supseteq \cdots \supseteq S_T\).
