This paper addresses the minimization of a finite sum of prox-convex functions under Lipschitz continuity of each component. We propose two variants of the splitting proximal point algorithms proposed in \cite{Bacak,Bertsekas}: one…

In the present paper, we consider Stancu type generalization of Baskakov-Sz\'{a}sz operators based on the q-integers and obtain statistical and weighted statistical approximation properties of these operators. Rates of statistical…

In this paper we propose a distributed version of a randomized block-coordinate descent method for minimizing the sum of a partially separable smooth convex function and a fully separable non-smooth convex function. Under the assumption of…

Parameterized convex minorant (PCM) method is proposed for the approximation of the objective function in amortized optimization. In the proposed method, the objective function approximator is expressed by the sum of a PCM and a nonnegative…

We propose a new length formula that governs the iterates of the momentum method when minimizing differentiable semialgebraic functions with locally Lipschitz gradients. It enables us to establish local convergence, global convergence, and…

In the present paper, we use a generalised shift operator in order to define a generalised modulus of smoothness. By its means, we define generalised Lipschitz classes of functions, and we give their constructive characteristics.…

There exist efficient algorithms to project a point onto the intersection of a convex cone and an affine subspace. Those conic projections are in turn the work-horse of a range of algorithms in conic optimization, having a variety of…

The popular BFGS quasi-Newton minimization algorithm under reasonable conditions converges globally on smooth convex functions. This result was proved by Powell in 1976: we consider its implications for functions that are not smooth. In…

We propose a random-subspace algorithmic framework for global optimization of Lipschitz-continuous objectives, and analyse its convergence using novel tools from conic integral geometry. X-REGO randomly projects, in a sequential or…

In this paper, we consider the class of quasiconvex functions and its proper subclass of conic functions. The integer minimization problem of these functions is considered in the paper, assuming that an optimized function is defined by the…

Assume that f is a strict convex function with a unique minimum in R^n. We divide the vector of n-variables to d groups of vector subvariables with d at least two. We assume that we can find the partial minimum of f with respect to each…

We seek to approximate a composite function h(x) = g(f(x)) with a global polynomial. The standard approach chooses points x in the domain of f and computes h(x) at each point, which requires an evaluation of f and an evaluation of g. We…

In this paper, we present new second-order algorithms for composite convex optimization, called Contracting-domain Newton methods. These algorithms are affine-invariant and based on global second-order lower approximation for the smooth…

We generalize the notion of Monk's schema in such a way to integrate finite dimensions. This allows us to lift a plathora of deep results proved for finite dimensions to the infinite dimensional case, like the solution to problem 2.12 in…

Monotonic convergence is established for a general class of multiplicative algorithms introduced by Silvey, Titterington and Torsney [Comm. Statist. Theory Methods 14 (1978) 1379--1389] for computing optimal designs. A conjecture of…

In the field of global optimization, many existing algorithms face challenges posed by non-convex target functions and high computational complexity or unavailability of gradient information. These limitations, exacerbated by sensitivity to…

This paper aims at developing two versions of the generalized Newton method to compute not merely arbitrary local minimizers of nonsmooth optimization problems but just those, which possess an important stability property known as tilt…

The paper proposes and justifies a new algorithm of the proximal Newton type to solve a broad class of nonsmooth composite convex optimization problems without strong convexity assumptions. Based on advanced notions and techniques of…

We prove regularity results for the unique minimizer of the total variation functional, currently used in image processing analysis since the work by L. Rudin, S. Osher and E. Fatemi. In particular we show that if the source term $f$ is…

The paper proposes and develops new globally convergent algorithms of the generalized damped Newton type for solving important classes of nonsmooth optimization problems. These algorithms are based on the theory and calculations of…
