Tight Lower Bounds for Binary First-Order Oracles for Convex Optimization
Amitabh Basu, Phillip Kerger, Marco Molinaro
We establish new lower-bounds for the information complexity of mixed-integer convex optimization under two "bit-wise" oracles. The first oracle provides bits of first-order inform…

A Universal Transfer Theorem for Convex Optimization Algorithms Using Inexact First-order Oracles
Phillip Kerger, Marco Molinaro, Hongyi Jiang +1
Given any algorithm for convex optimization that uses exact first-order information (i.e., function values and subgradients), we show how to use such an algorithm to solve the prob…
