The subgradient method chooses and a step size , then setsAssume, as the question's use of requires, that a minimizer exists, and write . Since every subgradient here has Euclidean norm at most , the standard best-iterate estimate isTaking a suitable constant step when the target accuracy is known, or a standard diminishing sequence, gives error at most initerations, so the requested exponent is .
