This work investigates a dynamical system functioning as a nonsmooth adaptation of the continuous Newton method, aimed at minimizing the sum of a primal lower-regular and a locally Lipschitz function, both potentially nonsmooth. The…
We consider minimizing a function consisting of a quadratic term and a proximable term which is possibly nonconvex and nonsmooth. This problem is also known as scaled proximal operator. Despite its simple form, existing methods suffer from…
In this paper, we consider variants of Newton-MR algorithm for solving unconstrained, smooth, but non-convex optimization problems. Unlike the overwhelming majority of Newton-type methods, which rely on conjugate gradient algorithm as the…
An optimization algorithm for nonsmooth nonconvex constrained optimization problems with upper-C2 objective functions is proposed and analyzed. Upper-C2 is a weakly concave property that exists in difference of convex (DC) functions and…
The objective of this paper is to develop methods for solving image recovery problems subject to constraints on the solution. More precisely, we will be interested in problems which can be formulated as the minimization over a closed convex…
In this paper, we propose new methods to efficiently solve convex optimization problems encountered in sparse estimation, which include a new quasi-Newton method that avoids computing the Hessian matrix and improves efficiency, and we prove…
This paper suggests two novel ideas to develop new proximal variable-metric methods for solving a class of composite convex optimization problems. The first idea is a new parameterization of the optimality condition which allows us to…
Convex nonsmooth optimization problems, whose solutions live in very high dimensional spaces, have become ubiquitous. To solve them, the class of first-order algorithms known as proximal splitting algorithms is particularly adequate: they…
We propose a proximal variable smoothing algorithm for nonsmooth optimization problem with sum of three functions involving weakly convex composite function. The proposed algorithm is designed as a time-varying forward-backward splitting…
Many machine learning models involve solving optimization problems. Thus, it is important to deal with a large-scale optimization problem in big data applications. Recently, subsampled Newton methods have emerged to attract much attention…
Many problems in geometric optics or convex geometry can be recast as optimal transport problems: this includes the far-field reflector problem, Alexandrov's curvature prescription problem, etc. A popular way to solve these problems…
Worst-case complexity guarantees for nonconvex optimization algorithms have been a topic of growing interest. Multiple frameworks that achieve the best known complexity bounds among a broad class of first- and second-order strategies have…
In this paper, we use Proximal Cubic regularized Newton Methods (PCNM) to optimize the sum of a smooth convex function and a non-smooth convex function, where we use inexact gradient and Hessian, and an inexact subsolver for the cubic…
The Fast Proximal Gradient Method (FPGM) and the Monotone FPGM (MFPGM) for minimization of nonsmooth convex functions are introduced and applied to tomographic image reconstruction. Convergence properties of the sequence of objective…
Circumcentered techniques have been shown to significantly accelerate projection-based methods for convex feasibility problems. Motivated by this success, we propose two direct methods with circumcenter acceleration for solving variational…
We introduce a class of first-order methods for smooth constrained optimization that are based on an analogy to non-smooth dynamical systems. Two distinctive features of our approach are that (i) projections or optimizations over the entire…
We consider solving large scale nonconvex optimisation problems with nonnegativity constraints. Such problems arise frequently in machine learning, such as nonnegative least-squares, nonnegative matrix factorisation, as well as problems…
We develop a globalized Proximal Newton method for composite and possibly non-convex minimization problems in Hilbert spaces. Additionally, we impose less restrictive assumptions on the composite objective functional considering…
This paper studies first-order algorithms for solving fully composite optimization problems over convex and compact sets. We leverage the structure of the objective by handling its differentiable and non-differentiable components…
