Missing gradient is confused with a zero gradient · case 02

Missing gradient is confused with a zero gradient.

Member previewVariant 2 · 3 implementations · 6 checks per implementation

Case contract

present=True denotes an observed zero gradient: halve m and v and leave p unchanged. present=False denotes no observation: preserve all three values.

Why this case matters

Optimizer implementations must associate each parameter with its own mathematically specified update state.
