arXiv:2604.26993v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study gradient descent for rank-1 matrix factorization through a state-dependent Lyapunov perspective. The central object is a parameterized quadratic certificate $I(\delta;\,\cdot)$ whose boundary-inward property induces a monotone state parameter $\delta_t$, thereby certifying that the trajectory is confined to a shrinking family of level sets. For certified initializations below the critical step size, this mechanism proves convergence to global minimizers. Above the critical step size, the same monotone-state mechanism instead le
