An extension of the Gauss-Newton algorithm is proposed to find local minimizers of penalized nonlinear least squares problems, under generalized Lipschitz assumptions. Convergence results of local type are obtained, as well as an estimate…
In this paper, we propose a new method that combines the inexact Newton method with a procedure to obtain a feasible inexact projection for solving constrained smooth and nonsmooth equations. The local convergence theorems are established…
We study a class of monotone inclusions called "self-concordant inclusion" which covers three fundamental convex optimization formulations as special cases. We develop a new generalized Newton-type framework to solve this inclusion. Our…
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…
In probabilistic modeling, parameter estimation is commonly formulated as a minimization problem on a parameter manifold. Optimization in such spaces requires geometry-aware methods that respect the underlying information structure. While…
We consider two Riemannian geometries for the manifold $\mathcal{M}(p,m\times n)$ of all $m\times n$ matrices of rank $p$. The geometries are induced on $\mathcal{M}(p,m\times n)$ by viewing it as the base manifold of the submersion…
An implementation and an application of the combination of the genetic algorithm and Newton's method for solving a system of nonlinear equations is presented. The method first uses the advantage of the robustness of the genetic algorithm…
The Cartesian reverse derivative is a categorical generalization of reverse-mode automatic differentiation. We use this operator to generalize several optimization algorithms, including a straightforward generalization of gradient descent…
We consider variants of a recently-developed Newton-CG algorithm for nonconvex problems \citep{royer2018newton} in which inexact estimates of the gradient and the Hessian information are used for various steps. Under certain conditions on…
The numerical integration of an analytical function $f(x)$ using a finite set of equidistant points can be performed by quadrature formulas like the Newton-Cotes. Unlike Gaussian quadrature formulas however, higher-order Newton-Cotes…
A local convergence analysis of the Gauss-Newton method for solving injective-overdetermined systems of nonlinear equations under a majorant condition is provided. The convergence as well as results on its rate are established without a…
Training deep neural networks for solving machine learning problems is one great challenge in the field, mainly due to its associated optimisation problem being highly non-convex. Recent developments have suggested that many training…
We consider minimization of a sum of convex objective functions where the components of the objective are available at different nodes of a network and nodes are allowed to only communicate with their neighbors. The use of distributed…
The affine Grassmannian is a noncompact smooth manifold that parameterizes all affine subspaces of a fixed dimension. It is a natural generalization of Euclidean space, points being zero-dimensional affine subspaces. We will realize the…
In this paper, we revisit the augmented Lagrangian method for a class of nonsmooth convex optimization. We present the Lagrange optimality system of the augmented Lagrangian associated with the problems, and establish its connections with…
We consider minimization of a smooth nonconvex objective function using an iterative algorithm based on Newton's method and the linear conjugate gradient algorithm, with explicit detection and use of negative curvature directions for the…
In this note we prove that the version of Newton algorithm with line search we used in [2] converges quadratically.
We show that Newton's method converges globally at a linear rate for objective functions whose Hessians are stable. This class of problems includes many functions which are not strongly convex, such as logistic regression. Our linear…
Newton's method has been thoroughly studied for the class of self-concordant functions. However, a local analysis specific to strongly self-concordant functions (a subclass of the former) is missing from the literature. The local quadratic…
In this paper, we revisit the chaotic number of iterations needed by Newton's method to converge to a root. Here, we consider a simple modified Newton method depending on a parameter. It is demonstrated using polynomiography that even in…
