This paper aims to develop a Newton-type method to solve a class of nonconvex composite programs. In particular, the nonsmooth part is possibly nonconvex. To tackle the nonconvexity, we develop a notion of strong prox-regularity which is…
Newton's method for polynomial root finding is one of mathematics' most well-known algorithms. The method also has its shortcomings: it is undefined at critical points, it could exhibit chaotic behavior and is only guaranteed to converge…
This paper pursues a twofold goal. First, we introduce and study in detail a new notion of variational analysis called generalized metric subregularity, which is a far-going extension of the conventional metric subregularity conditions. Our…
In this paper we propose an extension of the iteratively regularized Gauss--Newton method to the Banach space setting by defining the iterates via convex optimization problems. We consider some a posteriori stopping rules to terminate the…
Newton method is one of the most powerful methods for finding solutions of nonlinear equations and for proving their existence. In its "pure" form it has fast convergence near the solution, but small convergence domain. On the other hand…
The paper starts with a concise description of the recently developed semismooth* Newton method for the solution of general inclusions. This method is then applied to a class of variational inequalities of the second kind. As a result, one…
We consider a nonlocal functional equation that is a generalization of the mathematical model used in behavioral sciences. The equation is built upon an operator that introduces a convex combination and a nonlinear mixing of the function…

Optimization methods that make use of derivatives of the objective function up to order $p > 2$ are called tensor methods. Among them, ones that minimize a regularized $p$th-order Taylor expansion at each step have been shown to possess…
