General multilevel adaptations for stochastic approximation algorithms

Probability 2019-12-18 v1

Abstract

In this article we establish central limit theorems for multilevel Polyak-Ruppert averaged stochastic approximation schemes. We work under very mild technical assumptions and consider the slow regime in wich typical errors decay like NδN^{-\delta} with δ(0,12)\delta\in(0,\frac 12) and the critical regime in which errors decay of order N1/2logNN^{-1/2}\sqrt{\log N} in the runtime NN of the algorithm.
