We establish sharp well-posedness and approximation estimates for variational saddle point systems at the continuous level. The main results of this note have been known to be true only in the finite dimensional case. Known spectral results…

Saddle point problems arise in a variety of applications, e.g., when solving the Stokes equations. They can be formulated such that the system matrix is symmetric, but indefinite, so the variational convergence theory that is usually used…

Saddle-point problems have recently gained increased attention from the machine learning community, mainly due to applications in training Generative Adversarial Networks using stochastic gradients. At the same time, in some applications…

In this paper, we study a bilinear saddle point problem of the form $\min_{x}\max_{y} F(x) + \langle Ax, y \rangle - G(y)$, where $F$ and $G$ are $\mu_F$- and $\mu_G$-strongly convex functions, respectively. By incorporating Nesterov…

In this work, several multilevel decoupled algorithms are proposed for a mixed Navier-Stokes/Darcy model. These algorithms are based on either successively or parallelly solving two linear subdomain problems after solving a coupled…

An efficient method for solving large nonlinear problems combines Newton solvers and Domain Decomposition Methods (DDM). In the DDM framework, the boundary conditions can be chosen to be primal, dual or mixed. The mixed approach presents…

We consider the solution of saddle-point systems with a tree-based block structure, introducing a parallelizable direct method for their solution. As our key contribution, we then propose several structure-exploiting preconditioners to be…

A class of backward doubly stochastic differential equations (BDSDEs in short) with continuous coefficients is studied. We give the comparison theorems, the existence of the maximal solution and the structure of solutions for BDSDEs with…

In this paper, we propose a numerical method for the solution of time-dependent flow problems in mixed form. Such problems can be efficiently approximated on hierarchical grids, obtained from an unstructured coarse triangulation by using a…

This paper develops a unified distributed method for solving two classes of constrained networked optimization problems, i.e., optimal consensus problem and resource allocation problem with non-identical set constraints. We first transform…

The paper presents a new approach to solve multifacility location problems, which is based on mixed integer programming and algorithms for minimizing differences of convex (DC) functions. The main challenges for solving the multifacility…

We proposed an iterate scheme for solving convex-concave saddle-point problems associated with general convex-concave functions. We demonstrated that when our iterate scheme is applied to a special class of convex-concave functions, which…

We revisit the smooth convex-concave bilinearly-coupled saddle-point problem of the form $\min_x\max_y f(x) + \langle y,\mathbf{B} x\rangle - g(y)$. In the highly specific case where each of the functions $f(x)$ and $g(y)$ is either affine…

In this paper, we focus on solving a class of constrained non-convex non-concave saddle point problems in a decentralized manner by a group of nodes in a network. Specifically, we assume that each node has access to a summand of a global…

The paper studies a distributed gradient descent (DGD) process and considers the problem of showing that in nonconvex optimization problems, DGD typically converges to local minima rather than saddle points. The paper considers…

We develop a new consensus-based distributed algorithm for solving learning problems with feature partitioning and non-smooth convex objective functions. Such learning problems are not separable, i.e., the associated objective functions…

The diffusion strategy for distributed learning from streaming data employs local stochastic gradient updates along with exchange of iterates over neighborhoods. In Part I [2] of this work we established that agents cluster around a network…

Stochastic nested optimization, including stochastic compositional, min-max and bilevel optimization, is gaining popularity in many machine learning applications. While the three problems share the nested structure, existing works often…

In this paper, we consider the nonsmooth convex optimization problems over the fixed point constraint sets of firmly nonexpansive operators. To find an optimal solution of the problem, we present an iterative method based on the hybrid…

Stochastic nonconvex-concave min-max saddle point problems appear in many machine learning and control problems including distributionally robust optimization, generative adversarial networks, and adversarial learning. In this paper, we…
