Complexity Guarantees for Zeroth-order Methods via Exponentially-shifted Gaussian Smoothing: Mitigating Dimension-dependence and Incorporating Decision-dependence
Mingrui Wang, Prakash Chakraborty, Uday V. Shanbhag
In this paper, we consider two distinct challenges in the resolution of nonsmooth stochastic optimization. Of these, the first pertains to the pronounced dependence of dimension in…

Equilibrium Invariance, Proximality, and Surrogation: Moreau-Smoothed Best-Response Pathways in Stochastic Nonsmooth Games
Zhuoyu Xiao, Uday V. Shanbhag
Best-response (BR) schemes represent an important avenue for learning equilibria in noncooperative games. However, extant rate guarantees for BR schemes generally necessitate strin…
