A Unifying View of Anchoring via Operator-Side Tikhonov Regularization

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.30905v1 Announce Type: cross Anchored fixed point and monotone equation methods, including Halpern iteration, extra anchored gradient, and their relatives, add a vanishing pull toward a reference point to obtain last-iterate guarantees. Existing anchored variants often achieve sharp last-iterate guarantees, but from the update-level perspective the placement of the anchor can be algorithm-specific and conceptually opaque.
