In this paper we propose a scalarization proximal point method to solve multiobjective unconstrained minimization problems with locally Lipschitz and quasiconvex vector functions. We prove, under natural assumptions, that the sequence…

In this paper we present the proximal point method for a special class of nonconvex function on a Hadamard manifold. The well definedness of the sequence generated by the proximal point method is guaranteed. Moreover, it is proved that each…

We consider the problem of minimizing a continuous function that may be nonsmooth and nonconvex, subject to bound constraints. We propose an algorithm that uses the L-BFGS quasi-Newton approximation of the problem's curvature together with…

We propose a general scheme for solving convex and non-convex optimization problems on manifolds. The central idea is that, by adding a multiple of the squared retraction distance to the objective function in question, we "convexify" the…

We study the variational inference problem of minimizing a regularized R\'enyi divergence over an exponential family. We propose to solve this problem with a Bregman proximal gradient algorithm. We propose a sampling-based algorithm to…

This paper introduces adaptive Bregman proximal gradient algorithms for solving convex composite minimization problems without relying on global relative smoothness or strong convexity assumptions. Building upon recent advances in adaptive…

In this paper we consider a problem, called convex projection, of projecting a convex set onto a subspace. We will show that to a convex projection one can assign a particular multi-objective convex optimization problem, such that the…

Alternating projection method has been used in a wide range of engineering applications since it is a gradient-free method (without requiring tuning the step size) and usually has fast speed of convergence. In this paper, we formalize two…

Community detection is an important problem in unsupervised learning. This paper proposes to solve a projection matrix approximation problem with an additional entrywise bounded constraint. Algorithmically, we introduce a new differentiable…

The proximal point method for a special class of nonconvex multiobjective functions is studied in this paper. We show that the method is well defined and that the accumulation points of any generated sequence, if any, are Pareto--Clarke…

This paper proposes a nonmonotone proximal quasi-Newton algorithm for unconstrained convex multiobjective composite optimization problems. To design the search direction, we minimize the max-scalarization of the variations of the Hessian…

We present a subgradient method for minimizing non-smooth, non-Lipschitz convex optimization problems. The only structure assumed is that a strictly feasible point is known. We extend the work of Renegar [5] by taking a different…

Fixed points for uniformly local asymptotic nonexpansive maps are discussed in this article. An approximate fixed point sequence for such a map over a uniformly convex Banach space is derived. At the end, we study the unique fixed point for…

We consider concave minimization problems over non-convex sets.Optimization problems with this structure arise in sparse principal component analysis. We analyze both a gradient projection algorithm and an approximate Newton algorithm where…

In this paper we present a first-order method that admits near-optimal convergence rates for convex/concave min-max problems while requiring a simple and intuitive analysis. Similarly to the seminal work of Nemirovski and the recent…

In this paper, a convex optimization-based method is proposed for numerically solving dynamic programs in continuous state and action spaces. The key idea is to approximate the output of the Bellman operator at a particular state by the…

This paper presents and investigates an inexact proximal gradient method for solving composite convex optimization problems characterized by an objective function composed of a sum of a full-domain differentiable convex function and a…

We study optimization problems on Hadamard manifolds, motivated by recent advances in geometric approaches to optimization on curved spaces, particularly those involving the structure of Busemann functions. We introduce a projection based…

The sketch-and-project, as a general archetypal algorithm for solving linear systems, unifies a variety of randomized iterative methods such as the randomized Kaczmarz and randomized coordinate descent. However, since it aims to find a…

It is well-known that given a bounded, smooth nonconvex function, standard gradient-based methods can find $\epsilon$-stationary points (where the gradient norm is less than $\epsilon$) in $\mathcal{O}(1/\epsilon^2)$ iterations. However,…
