arXiv:2505. 02281v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper explores the performance of a random Gaussian smoothing zeroth-order (ZO) scheme for minimising quasar-convex (QC) and strongly quasar-convex (SQC) functions in both unconstrained and constrained settings.

Smooth Quasar-Convex Optimization with Constraints

arXiv:2510. 01943v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Quasar-convex functions form a broad nonconvex class with applications to linear dynamical systems, generalized linear models, and Riemannian optimization, among others.
