Abstract:
Minimax problems are notoriously challenging to optimize. However, we present that the two-timescale extragradient method can be a viable solution. By utilizing dynamical systems theory, we show that it converges to points that satisfy the second-order necessary condition of local minimax points, under mild conditions that the two-timescale gradient descent ascent fails to work. This work provably improves upon all previous results on finding local minimax points, by eliminating a crucial assumption that the Hessian with respect to the maximization variable is nondegenerate.
