The paper studies high‑dimensional linear contextual bandits with knapsack constraints (CBwK), aiming to exploit sparsity for tighter regret bounds. It introduces an online hard‑thresholding estimator integrated into a primal‑dual framework, achieving sub‑linear regret that grows only logarithmically with the feature dimension. Under either a diverse‑covariate or margin condition, the regret improves to τ‑dependent rates, and when both hold simultaneously, a dual resolving scheme yields an even tighter bound. The approach also recovers optimal rates for high‑dimensional contextual bandits without knapsacks, and experiments demonstrate its practical effectiveness.
