FORS + proximal sampler
A paper-first mathematical case study: read the theorem, the derivation route, and the hidden prerequisites before opening formal infrastructure.
Exact source theorem
Theorem G.1(3)
Reading. Read the accuracy guarantee together with the complexity/rate: the source assumptions and its notion of oracle cost are part of the result.
Primary-source audit complete. The displayed theorem statement is the controlling mathematical contract for this case.
proof omitted; source says it follows the RGO implementation error tracking of Altschuler-Chewi
Choose the RGO scale required by Theorem G.1.
Assemble ideal proximal convergence with per-RGO implementation error; the paper omits the repeated derivation.
What must be true before the rate can be read
Model and geometry
- The potential is convex and satisfies the weak/Hölder smoothness model of the cited theorem.
- The Hölder exponent and constant are source parameters; ASTIS does not silently replace them by ordinary smoothness.
- The initial transport scale and the requested KL accuracy are kept explicit in the rate.
Analytic / proof prerequisites
- Chewi Theorem 8.4.1
- proximal-sampler inexact-RGO error accumulation
- FORS Gaussian-tilt/RGO implementation theorem
ASTIS rigorous LaTeX
Lean formalization
This fold is intentionally quiet while the source statement, proof route, and assumptions are being completed case by case. A source-facing Lean theorem will appear here only after it compiles and its statement has been matched to the audited source.
