We consider convex optimization problems with the objective function having Lipshitz-continuous $p$-th order derivative, where $p\geq 1$. We propose a new tensor method, which closes the gap between the lower…

We study the complexity of optimizing highly smooth convex functions. For a positive integer $p$, we want to find an $\epsilon$-approximate minimum of a convex function $f$, given oracle access to the function and its first $p$ derivatives,…

In this note, we consider the complexity of optimizing a highly smooth (Lipschitz $k$-th order derivative) and strongly convex function, via calls to a $k$-th order oracle which returns the value and first $k$ derivatives of the function at…

In this work, we propose a method for minimizing non-convex functions with Lipschitz continuous $p$th-order derivatives, starting from $p \geq 1$. The method, however, only requires derivative information up to order $(p-1)$, since the…

Exploiting higher-order derivatives in convex optimization is known at least since 1970's. In each iteration higher-order (also called tensor) methods minimize a regularized Taylor expansion of the objective function, which leads to faster…
