Improving the Last-Iterate Guarantees of Anytime Algorithms for Stochastic Monotone Variational Inequalities

Jun-Hyun Kim, Ahmet Alacaoglu

We analyze a stochastic algorithm with Halpern-type anchoring for constrained convex-concave problems and monotone variational inequalities. This single-loop and single-call algori…

How to Make the Gradient Mapping Small for Constrained Stochastic Min-Max Problems and Beyond

Ahmet Alacaoglu

We study the stochastic first-order oracle complexity for constrained or regularized convex-concave min-max optimization and stochastic monotone variational inequalities. We focus…

Solving Stochastic Variational Inequalities without the Bounded Variance Assumption

Ahmet Alacaoglu, Jun-Hyun Kim

We analyze algorithms for solving stochastic variational inequalities (VI) without the bounded variance or bounded domain assumptions, where our main focus is min-max optimization…

Convergence Rate of the Last Iterate of Stochastic Proximal Algorithms

Kevin Kurian Thomas Vaidyan, Michael P. Friedlander, Ahmet Alacaoglu

We analyze two classical algorithms for solving additively composite convex optimization problems where the objective is the sum of a smooth term and a nonsmooth regularizer: proxi…

Decentralized Optimization with Topology-Independent Communication

Ying Lin, Yao Kuang, Ahmet Alacaoglu +1

Distributed optimization requires nodes to coordinate, yet full synchronization scales poorly. When nodes collaborate through pairwise regularizers, standard methods demand…

Stochastic Smoothed Primal-Dual Algorithms for Nonconvex Optimization with Linear Inequality Constraints

Ruichuan Huang, Jiawei Zhang, Ahmet Alacaoglu

We propose smoothed primal-dual algorithms for solving stochastic and smooth nonconvex optimization problems with linear inequality constraints. Our algorithms are single-loop and…
