6 Last iterate under cohypomonotonicity

The above lemma allows us to obtain last iterate convergence for IKM on the inexact resolvent by combing the lemma with Theorem C.1.

Remark 6.3. Notice that the rate in Theorem 6.2 has no dependency on ρ. Specifically, it gets rid of the factor γ/(γ + 2ρ) which Gorbunov et al. (2022b, Thm. 3.2) shows is unimprovable for PP. Theorem 6.2 requires that the iterates stays bounded. In Corollary 6.4 we will assume bounded diameter for simplicity, but it is relatively straightforward to show that the iterates can be guaranteed to be bounded by controlling the inexactness (see Lemma E.2).
