This is an incremental improvement for optimization researchers, building directly on prior work.

The paper tackles the problem of adapting to Hölder smoothness in optimization by using normalized gradients in a black-box manner, achieving a bound that depends on a novel notion of local Hölder smoothness.

In this short note, I show how to adapt to Hölder smoothness using normalized gradients in a black-box way. Moreover, the bound will depend on a novel notion of local Hölder smoothness. The main idea directly comes from Levy [2017].
