abstract

We prove non-asymptotic lower bounds on the expectation of the maximum of $d$ independent Gaussian variables and the expectation of the maximum of $d$ independent symmetric random walks. Both lower bounds recover the optimal leading constant in the limit. A simple application of the lower bound for random walks is an (asymptotically optimal) non-asymptotic lower bound on the minimax regret of online learning with expert advice.

  1. Instance-Optimal Matrix Multiplicative Weight Update and Its Quantum Applications

    cs.LG 2025-09 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    A new potential-based algorithm achieves instance-optimal O(sqrt(T·S(X||I/d))) regret for matrix LEA with the same complexity as MMWU, using a one-sided Jensen trace inequality.

    math.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    As T→∞ the online Komlós game value satisfies lim K_T(m,n)/√T = 1/√(2τ), with τ the extinction time of the unit cube under the associated curvature flow, and 1/√(2τ)=Θ(√log m) for n≥m−1.

    quant-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Ergodic quantum dynamics, via a non-demolition coupling, generates EPR states with lower purity and higher operator-transfer capacity than infinite-temperature scramblers, with a parametric advantage when initial stat...
