"Certificate-Guided Pruning (CGP) maintains an explicit active set A_t of candidate optima using confidence-adjusted Lipschitz envelopes, certifying with high probability that any point outside A_t is suboptimal (Section 3, Algorithm 1).",
"Under a margin condition with near-optimality dimension \u03b1 (Assumption 2.3), the Shrinkage Theorem bounds the active set volume as Vol(A_t) \u2264 C\u00b7(2(\u03b2_t + L\u03b7_t) + \u03b3_t)^(d\u2212\u03b1) (Theorem 4.6).",
"CGP achieves \u03b5-optimality with probability at least 1\u2212\u03b4 using T = \u00d5(L^d \u03b5^{-(2+\u03b1)} log(1/\u03b4)) samples, improving on the worst-case \u00d5(\u03b5^{-(2+d)}) rate whenever \u03b1 < d (Theorem 4.8).",
"A matching lower bound shows any algorithm requires \u03a9(\u03b5^{-(2+\u03b1)}) samples under the same margin condition, establishing CGP's minimax sample-complexity optimality (Theorem 4.9).",
"CGP-Adaptive learns the Lipschitz constant L online via a doubling scheme, adding only an O(log T) multiplicative overhead to the sample complexity (Theorem 5.1, Section 5).",
"CGP-TR, a trust-region variant, scales to dimension d > 50 via certified restarts that provably never falsely eliminate the region containing the true optimizer x* (Theorem 6.1, Section 6)."
