Statement

Yun, Sra and Jadbabaie posed as a COLT 2021 open question whether, for well-conditioned symmetric matrices, the operators encoding the expected iterate of single-shuffle SGD, random-reshuffle SGD and gradient descent on a quadratic finite sum satisfy ∥Wss∥≤∥Wrs∥≤∥Wgd∥\|W_{ss}\| \le \|W_{rs}\| \le \|W_{gd}\|. They do.

    — the result was found by a model.

    The paper states the proof was found via GPT-5.5 Pro prompted by the author, and a footnote says the proof idea was completely generated by the model, linking the shared conversation. The write-up was assembled by the author.
