Frank-Wolfe variants for minimization of a sum of functions

Optimization and Control 2023-01-12 v4

Abstract

We propose several variants of the Frank-Wolfe algorithm to minimize a sum of functions. The main proposed algorithm is inspired from the dual averaging scheme of Nesterov adapted for Frank Wolfe in a stochastic setting. A distributed version of this scheme is also suggested. Additionally, we propose a Frank-Wolfe variant based on incremental gradient techniques. The convergence rates for all the proposed algorithms are established. The performance is studied on least squares regression and multinomial classification.
