Abstract
We study the geometric convergence rate of discrete-time primal-dual algorithms for solving strongly-convex equality-constrained optimization problems. Our approach separates the primal-dual algorithm into an interconnection of two exponentially stable systems, and a composite Lyapunov approach is used to establish stability of the interconnection and provide new bounds on the geometric rate of convergence. Analogous convergence results are developed for two variations of the primal-dual algorithm: an extrapolated version which accelerates convergence, and an inner-loop version which interpolates between the vanilla primal-dual method and dual ascent. The obtained bounds are compared and contrasted with existing bounds from the literature.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
