This work provides theoretical insights into sequential learning complexity, but it is incremental as it builds on existing sublinear expectation theory.

The authors tackled the problem of characterizing the large-sample limit of sequential Rademacher complexity for finite function classes, showing it equals the viscosity solution of a G-heat equation and relates to multidimensional G-normal random variables, with results including derived upper and lower bounds.

For a finite function class we describe the large sample limit of the sequential Rademacher complexity in terms of the viscosity solution of a $G$-heat equation. In the language of Peng's sublinear expectation theory, the same quantity equals to the expected value of the largest order statistics of a multidimensional $G$-normal random variable. We illustrate this result by deriving upper and lower bounds for the asymptotic sequential Rademacher complexity.
