SGHA: A Single-Loop Fully First-Order Algorithm for Nonconvex-Strongly-Convex Bilevel 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...

Single-Loop Stochastic Projected Damped Extragradient Methods for Stochastic Nonconvex--(Strongly) Concave Minimax Optimization
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.

Solving Stochastic Fixed-Point Equations with High Probability
arXiv:2607. 09097v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study stochastic fixed-point equations $\mathbf{T}(\mathbf{x}) = \mathbf{x}$ over normed spaces $(\mathcal{E}, \|\cdot\|)$, where the operator $\mathbf{T}$ is nonexpansive or contractive and is accessed only through unbiased stochastic evaluations with bounded second central moment.
