contents A unified framework for first-order optimization algorithms fornonconvex unconstrained optimization is proposed that uses adaptivelypreconditioned gradients and includes popular methods such as full anddiagonal AdaGrad, AdaNorm, as well as adpative variants of Shampoo andMuon. This framework also allows combining heterogeneous geometriesacross different groups of variables while preserving a unifiedconvergence analysis. A fully stochastic global rate-of-convergenceanalysis is conducted for all methods in the framework, with andwithout two types of momentum, using reasonable assumptions on thevariance of the gradient oracle and without assuming boundedstochastic gradients or small enough stepsize.
