Ryu and Jang, using GPT-5 Pro, prove point convergence of Nesterov accelerated gradient

In October 2025 UCLA mathematicians Ernest Ryu and Uijeong Jang resolved the long-open question of whether Nesterov’s 1983 accelerated gradient method converges in iterates, in a collaboration they describe as heavily assisted by GPT-5 Pro. The human authors wrote and checked the final proof.
