The subgradient method is one of the most fundamental algorithmic schemes for nonsmooth optimization. The existing complexity and convergence results for this method are mainly derived for Lipschitz continuous objective functions. In this…
We discuss variants of construction of measurable subgradients for multivariate convex functions and the problem of characterization of the $\Delta_2$-condition in terms of their directional derivatives. Furthermore we study related basic…
This work extends the iterative framework proposed by Attouch et al. (in Math. Program. 137: 91-129, 2013) for minimizing a nonconvex and nonsmooth function $\Phi$ so that the generated sequence possesses a Q-superlinear convergence rate.…

If $f$ is a Henstock--Kurzweil integrable function on the real line, the Alexiewicz norm of $f$ is $\|f\|=\sup_I|\int_I f|$ where the supremum is taken over all intervals $I\subset\R$. Define the translation $\tau_x$ by $\tau_xf(y)=f(y-x)$.…

We introduce a notion of Lorentzian metric space which drops the boundedness condition from our previous work and argue that the properties defining our spaces are minimal. In fact, they are defined by three conditions given by (a) the…
Minimization of a smooth function on a sphere or, more generally, on a smooth manifold, is the simplest non-convex optimization problem. It has a lot of applications. Our goal is to propose a version of the gradient projection algorithm for…
We undertake a precise study of the asymptotic and non-asymptotic properties of stochastic approximation procedures with Polyak-Ruppert averaging for solving a linear system $\bar{A} \theta = \bar{b}$. When the matrix $\bar{A}$ is Hurwitz,…
Although quantitative stability for critical points of the Sobolev and fractional Sobolev inequalities has been extensively studied, the corresponding stability theory for critical points of the Hardy--Littlewood--Sobolev (HLS) inequality…
We consider various versions of the obstacle and thin-obstacle problems, we interpret them as variational inequalities, with non-smooth constraint, and prove that they satisfy a new constrained Lojasiewicz inequality. The difficulty lies in…
