The paper investigates restricted eigenvalue (RE) bounds for norm‑regularized estimators under heavy‑tailed designs. It shows that the previously conjectured sample‑size law based on Gaussian width fails for heavy‑tailed measurements, due to a phenomenon called simultaneous threshold occupancy. The authors provide explicit counterexamples, derive worst‑case sample‑complexity bounds, and compare the behavior of heavy‑tailed versus Gaussian designs on constant‑width polyhedral descent cones.

arXiv:2609. 12594v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the classical Moreau--Yosida unadjusted Langevin algorithm (MYULA) for $\pi(\,\mathrm{d} x)\propto e^{-f(x)-g(x)}\,\mathrm{d} x$, where $f\in C^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ is $m$-strongly convex with $L_f$-Lipschitz gradient and $g:\mathbb{R}^d\to\mathbb{R}$ is convex and globally $G$-Lipschitz.

Abstract: Near a smooth data manifold, one tangent space summarizes local geometry. At a branch point, the corresponding first-order object is instead a measure...

An input may activate few hidden units even when different inputs collectively use an entire network. We study the statistical complexity of this input-dependent sparsity in the one-hidden-layer ReLU model of Awasthi et al.
