Research Type Theoretical We present an algorithm that, on a sequence of length T and using overall T calls to the LOO, guarantees O(T 3/4) regret w.r.t. the losses and O(T 7/8) constraints violation (ignoring all quantities except for T). We present a more efficient algorithm that does not require the latter optimization oracle but only first-order access to the time-varying constraints, and achieves similar bounds w.r.t. the entire sequence. Importantly, our regret bounds w.r.t. the loss functions f1, . . . , f T , both in the full-information and bandit settings, match up to logarithmic terms the current state-of-the-art bounds (in terms of the horizon T and dimension n) for projection-free OCO (i.e., without additional time-varying constraints)...
