Uniform a priori bounds and error analysis for the Adam stochastic gradient descent optimization method

The paper establishes uniform a priori bounds for the Adam optimizer, enabling an unconditional error analysis for a broad class of strongly convex stochastic optimization problems. Prior analyses were conditional, assuming Adam remained bounded, whereas this work removes that assumption. The results provide a rigorous foundation for Adam’s performance in training deep neural networks and other convex optimization tasks.
