However, fixed-size vicinal training in CcGAN can be sensitive to non-uniform label densities, whereas CCDM relies on computationally expensive iterative sampling. To address these issues, we propose CcGAN-AVAR, an imbalance-aware extension of CcGAN that combines soft/hybrid adaptive vicinity with auxiliary discriminator-guided regularization. The adaptive vicinity constructs a label-dependent local radius according to the available samples around each target condition, and the multi-task discriminator supplies both a regression signal for label consistency and a density-ratio-estimation signal for distribution matching. We further provide a theoretical interpretation characterizing how adaptive vicinal weighting affects the local bias-variance behavior of the discriminator target, how hybrid truncation reduces objective-level cross-condition mixing, and how the density-ratio-based generator penalty approximates a Pearson Chi-square discrepancy up to the estimation error of the density-ratio branch. Extensive experiments on four datasets, including the newly constructed imbalanced RC-49-I, covering resolutions from 64x64 to 256x256 across eleven settings, demonstrate that CcGAN-AVAR obtains strong generation quality and label consistency while preserving the one-step sampling efficiency of GANs, achieving 300x--2000x faster inference than CCDM.
