This paper studies the generalization bounds for the empirical saddle point (ESP) solution to stochastic saddle point (SSP) problems. For SSP with Lipschitz continuous and strongly convex-strongly concave objective functions, we establish an $mathcal{O}(1/n)$ generalization bound by using a uniform stability argument. We also provide generalization bounds under a variety of assumptions, including the cases without strong convexity and without bounded domains. We illustrate our results in two examples: batch policy learning in Markov decision process, and mixed strategy Nash equilibrium estimation for stochastic games. In each of these examples, we show that a regularized ESP solution enjoys a near-optimal sample complexity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first set of results on the generalization theory of ESP.

On solving a convex-concave bilinear saddle-point problem (SPP), there have been many works studying the complexity results of first-order methods. These results are all about upper complexity bounds, which can determine at most how many efforts woul
d guarantee a solution of desired accuracy. In this paper, we pursue the opposite direction by deriving lower complexity bounds of first-order methods on large-scale SPPs. Our results apply to the methods whose iterates are in the linear span of past first-order information, as well as more general methods that produce their iterates in an arbitrary manner based on first-order information. We first work on the affinely constrained smooth convex optimization that is a special case of SPP. Different from gradient method on unconstrained problems, we show that first-order methods on affinely constrained problems generally cannot be accelerated from the known convergence rate $O(1/t)$ to $O(1/t^2)$, and in addition, $O(1/t)$ is optimal for convex problems. Moreover, we prove that for strongly convex problems, $O(1/t^2)$ is the best possible convergence rate, while it is known that gradient methods can have linear convergence on unconstrained problems. Then we extend these results to general SPPs. It turns out that our lower complexity bounds match with several established upper complexity bounds in the literature, and thus they are tight and indicate the optimality of several existing first-order methods.
In this paper, we focus on solving a class of constrained non-convex non-concave saddle point problems in a decentralized manner by a group of nodes in a network. Specifically, we assume that each node has access to a summand of a global objective fu
nction and nodes are allowed to exchange information only with their neighboring nodes. We propose a decentralized variant of the proximal point method for solving this problem. We show that when the objective function is $rho$-weakly convex-weakly concave the iterates converge to approximate stationarity with a rate of $mathcal{O}(1/sqrt{T})$ where the approximation error depends linearly on $sqrt{rho}$. We further show that when the objective function satisfies the Minty VI condition (which generalizes the convex-concave case) we obtain convergence to stationarity with a rate of $mathcal{O}(1/sqrt{T})$. To the best of our knowledge, our proposed method is the first decentralized algorithm with theoretical guarantees for solving a non-convex non-concave decentralized saddle point problem. Our numerical results for training a general adversarial network (GAN) in a decentralized manner match our theoretical guarantees.
This paper considers the problem of designing accelerated gradient-based algorithms for optimization and saddle-point problems. The class of objective functions is defined by a generalized sector condition. This class of functions contains strongly c
onvex functions with Lipschitz gradients but also non-convex functions, which allows not only to address optimization problems but also saddle-point problems. The proposed design procedure relies on a suitable class of Lyapunov functions and on convex semi-definite programming. The proposed synthesis allows the design of algorithms that reach the performance of state-of-the-art accelerated gradient methods and beyond.
This paper studies the saddle point problem of polynomials. We give an algorithm for computing saddle points. It is based on solving Lasserres hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations. Under some genericity assumptions on defining polynomials, we show t
hat: i) if there exists a saddle point, our algorithm can get one by solving a finite number of Lasserre type semidefinite relaxations; ii) if there is no saddle point, our algorithm can detect its nonexistence.
We introduce an adaptive element-based domain decomposition (DD) method for solving saddle point problems defined as a block two by two matrix. The algorithm does not require any knowledge of the constrained space. We assume that all sub matrices are
sparse and that the diagonal blocks are spectrally equivalent to a sum of positive semi definite matrices. The latter assumption enables the design of adaptive coarse space for DD methods that extends the GenEO theory to saddle point problems. Numerical results on three dimensional elasticity problems for steel-rubber structures discretized by a finite element with continuous pressure are shown for up to one billion degrees of freedom.
