Abstract

First-order methods have classically been developed under the de facto assumption of monotonicity. However, recently there has been a surge of interest in developing methods for nonmonotone problems for which convergence guarantees of classical methods no longer hold. One such nonmonotone structure, which remains amenable to analysis, is the weak Minty variational inequality (MVI). The allowed degree of nonmonotonicity in the weak MVI has been pushed in recent years through a series of works. In this talk we will discuss the underlying mechanism behind these advances and provide a unifying framework for several existing methods.
