A Few Accelerated Algorithms for Convex Optimization under $(H_0,H_1)$-Smoothness
Abstract
We develop accelerated algorithms for convex -smooth optimization, where . This class generalizes standard smoothness and contains the -smooth class. Combining a Nesterov-type accelerated gradient scheme with small-dimensional relaxation and phase restarts, we obtain a full-gradient method with iteration complexity . We extend the same approach to randomized coordinate optimization, obtaining a coordinate method with uniform sampling whose iteration complexity carries the standard factor , and a coordinate method with non-uniform sampling whose iteration complexity is governed by . These results provide, to our knowledge, the first accelerated full-gradient and coordinate guarantees for this convex class. We also provide practical implementation recommendations. Experiments confirm the predicted acceleration, gains from non-uniform sampling, and the viability of inexact relaxation.
