We perform the first tight convergence analysis of the gradient method with varying step sizes when applied to smooth hypoconvex (weakly convex) functions. Hypoconvex functions are smooth nonconvex functions whose curvature is bounded and…

This paper is devoted to the investigation of gradient flows in asymmetric metric spaces (for example, irreversible Finsler manifolds and Minkowski normed spaces) by means of discrete approximation. We study basic properties of curves and…
Many large-scale and distributed optimization problems can be brought into a composite form in which the objective function is given by the sum of a smooth term and a nonsmooth regularizer. Such problems can be solved via a proximal…
Our work focuses on stochastic gradient methods for optimizing a smooth non-convex loss function with a non-smooth non-convex regularizer. Research on this class of problem is quite limited, and until recently no non-asymptotic convergence…

Recently, there has been a great interest in analysing dynamical flows, where the stationary limit is the minimiser of a convex energy. Particular flows of great interest have been continuous limits of Nesterov's algorithm and the Fast…
For the problems indicated in the title, a further development of a new approach (different from those applied before) is given. A basic problem under consideration arises in viscous incompressible fluid dynamics and describes self-similar…

In this paper we study higher order weakly hyperbolic equations with time dependent non-regular coefficients. The non-regularity here means less than H\"older, namely bounded coefficients. As for second order equations in \cite{GR:14} we…
This paper is dedicated to the unique continuation properties of the solutions to nonlinear variational problems. Our analysis covers the case of nonlinear autonomous functionals depending on the gradient, as well as more general double…
We construct weak solutions of the anisotropic inverse mean curvature flow (A-IMCF) under very mild assumptions both on the anisotropy (which is simply a norm in $\mathbb R^N$ with no ellip\-ticity nor smoothness requirements, in order to…
