contents Second-order optimization methods are computationally expensive for large-scale problems. Recently, Doikov, Chayti, and Jaggi (ICML 2023) proposed the LazyCRN method that reduces computation by studying the gradient complexity of second-order methods. Their method can achieve a gradient complexity of $\mathcal{O}( d + d^{1/2} ε^{-3/2})$ and $\mathcal{O}( d + d^{1/2} ε^{-1/2})$ for nonconvex and convex optimization, respectively, where $d$ is the effective dimension and $ε$ is the target precision. Very recently, Adil, Bullins, Sidford, and Zhang (NeurIPS 2025) improved the gradient complexity to $\mathcal{O}( d + d^{1/3} ε^{-3/2} \ln^{18} ε^{-1})$ for nonconvex optimization. However, the tightness of these methods remains open. In this work, we propose new methods that achieve an improved complexity of $\mathcal{O}( d + d^{1/3} ε^{-3/2})$ and $\mathcal{O}( (d + d^{13/21} ε^{-2/7}) \ln d)$ for nonconvex and convex optimization, respectively, improving best-known results for both setups.
