arXiv:2609. 30877v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study whether the linear condition-number dependence in the stochastic complexity of SAPD+ is necessary for nonconvex-strongly-concave minimax optimization.
In this work, we study the oracle complexity of finding an $ε$-stationary point for nonconvex-strongly-convex (NC-SC) bilevel optimization using only first-order oracles. Existing methods achieving th...
arXiv:2511. 22331v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Bilevel optimization minimizes an objective function, defined by an upper-level problem whose feasible region is the solution of a lower-level problem.

The paper introduces single-loop stochastic projected damped extragradient (SPDE) and its variance-reduced variant (VR-SPDE) for stochastic nonconvex–(strongly) concave minimax problems. It provides SFO complexity bounds for achieving game stationarity and optimization stationarity, improving upon previous multi-loop methods while maintaining a single-loop structure. The results claim the best-known SFO complexities for these stationarity criteria among single-loop stochastic first‑order methods.
