Can anyone see how to get a tight upper bound for the function defined in terms of Inverse Laplace Transform below? $$g_\text{sgd}(t)=\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left[\left(\frac{s}{2}+\frac{5 \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}} \sqrt{s}}{2 \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}}{\sqrt{s}}\right)}\right)^{-1}\right].$$ Dieter Kadelka's numerical simulation suggests $g_\text{sgd}(t)\approx 0.434 t^{-\frac{1}{2}}$, which appears to model this function very well...where does $O(t^{-\frac{1}{2}})$ form come from? [![enter image description here][1]][1] [Notebook](https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/yaroslavvb/nn-linear/forum-asymptotic-laplace.nb) This function describes loss trajectory for stochastic gradient descent (SGD) on a linear least squares problem with covariance eigenvalues $1,\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{9},\dotsc$. Expression comes when treating SGD as a continuous time problem which requires solving [a particular](https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/4686487/solving-frac-partial-partial-t-f-hf-int-mathrm-d-i-h-f) differential equation [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/cUVvt.png [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/SB4KY.png
