Cardinality-constrained optimization (CCO) is a popular topic in sparse learning and signal recovery, yet remains challenging due to the inherent nonconvexity and discontinuity of cardinality constraints. This paper investigates the exact…
Kernel-free quadratic surface support vector machines (QSVM) have recently gained traction due to their flexibility in modeling nonlinear decision boundaries without relying on kernel functions. However, the introduction of a full quadratic…
This paper proposes a homotopy coordinate descent (HCD) method to solve the $l_0$-norm regularized least square ($l_0$-LS) problem for compressed sensing, which combine the homotopy technique with a variant of coordinate descent method.…
We consider the problem of minimizing a convex separable objective (as a separable sum of two proper closed convex functions $f$ and $g$) over a linear coupling constraint. We assume that $f$ can be decomposed as the sum of a smooth part…
Binary optimization is a central problem in mathematical optimization and its applications are abundant. To solve this problem, we propose a new class of continuous optimization techniques which is based on Mathematical Programming with…
Sparse estimation methods are aimed at using or obtaining parsimonious representations of data or models. They were first dedicated to linear variable selection but numerous extensions have now emerged such as structured sparsity or kernel…
In this work we propose and analyze a weighted proper orthogonal decomposition method to solve elliptic partial differential equations depending on random input data, for stochastic problems that can be transformed into parametric systems.…
In this paper we consider a class of structured nonsmooth difference-of-convex (DC) constrained DC program in which the first convex component of the objective and constraints is the sum of a smooth and nonsmooth functions while their…
In this paper, an inexact proximal-point penalty method is studied for constrained optimization problems, where the objective function is non-convex, and the constraint functions can also be non-convex. The proposed method approximately…
In CANDECOMP/PARAFAC tensor decomposition, degeneracy often occurs in some difficult scenarios, e.g., when the rank exceeds the tensor dimension, or when the loading components are highly collinear in several or all modes, or when CPD does…
In this paper, we consider the decentralized optimization problems with generalized orthogonality constraints, where both the objective function and the constraint exhibit a distributed structure. Such optimization problems, albeit…
We consider an optimization problem with strongly convex objective and linear inequalities constraints. To be able to deal with a large number of constraints we provide a penalty reformulation of the problem. As penalty functions we use a…
This work is concerned with a class of optimal control problems governed by a partial differential equation that are motivated by an application in radiotherapy treatment planning, where the primary design objective is to minimize the…
Recently, there has been focus on penalized log-likelihood covariance estimation for sparse inverse covariance (precision) matrices. The penalty is responsible for inducing sparsity, and a very common choice is the convex $l_1$ norm.…
Safe reinforcement learning aims to learn the optimal policy while satisfying safety constraints, which is essential in real-world applications. However, current algorithms still struggle for efficient policy updates with hard constraint…
This work deals with a regularization method enforcing solution sparsity of linear ill-posed problems by appropriate discretization in the image space. Namely, we formulate the so called least error method in an $\ell^1$ setting and perform…
The low-rank matrix reconstruction (LRMR) approach is widely used in direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation. As the rank norm penalty in an LRMR is NP-hard to compute, the nuclear norm (or the trace norm for a positive semidefinite (PSD)…
The optimal transport (OT) problem can be reduced to a linear programming (LP) problem through discretization. In this paper, we introduced the random block coordinate descent (RBCD) methods to directly solve this LP problem. Our approach…
This letter proposes to estimate low-rank matrices by formulating a convex optimization problem with non-convex regularization. We employ parameterized non-convex penalty functions to estimate the non-zero singular values more accurately…
Sparse optimization refers to an optimization problem involving the zero-norm in objective or constraints. In this paper, nonconvex approximation approaches for sparse optimization have been studied with a unifying point of view in DC…
