The goal of multi-objective optimization is to understand optimal trade-offs between competing objective functions by finding the Pareto front, i.e., the set of all Pareto optimal solutions, where no objective can be improved without…

Devising efficient algorithms to solve continuously-varying strongly convex optimization programs is key in many applications, from control systems to signal processing and machine learning. In this context, solving means to find and track…
