Definition 5.2.9: the Chapter 5 quadratic-convergence region, written in the zero-safe
multiplication form 8 M_fΒ² (f(x) - f*) β€ 1. When M_f = 0, this is all of E, matching the
degenerate quadratic regime.
Instances For
Source-facing notation for the Chapter 5 quadratic-convergence region Q_f.
Instances For
Membership in π¬[f | f*, M_f] is exactly the zero-safe inequality
8 M_fΒ² (f(x) - f*) β€ 1.
In the nondegenerate regime M_f > 0, the zero-safe multiplication-form owner
π¬[f | f*, M_f] is equivalent to the textbook divided threshold
f(x) - f* β€ 1 / (8 M_f^2).
If x lies outside the Chapter 5 quadratic-convergence region π¬[f | f*, M_f], then the
scaling constant M_f is necessarily positive. In the degenerate quadratic case M_f = 0, the
zero-safe owner π¬[f | f*, M_f] is all of E.
If x lies outside the Chapter 5 quadratic-convergence region π¬[f | f*, M_f], then its
suboptimality gap f(x) - f* is positive. Nonpositive gaps automatically satisfy the zero-safe
membership inequality.
If f* = f(x^*) and the Chapter 5 threshold 1 / (8 M_f^2) matches the divided Chapter 4
threshold Ο^3 / (2 Lβ^2) with Lβ > 0, then the Chapter 5 region Q_f agrees pointwise with
the Chapter 4 quadratic-decrease region
