Establishes robustness of RMSProp to bounded, time-varying step size rules.
Abstract
In this paper, an input-to-state Lyapunov function for the RMSProp optimization algorithm is introduced. Global asymptotic stability of the RMSProp algorithm for constant step sizes and robustness properties with respect to arbitrary bounded time-varying step size rules are established.
