This paper introduces a Moment-Quaternion-Sum-of-Squares (QSOS) hierarchy for solving a class of quaternion polynomial optimization problems. This hierarchy is formulated directly in the quaternion domain and consists of a sequence of…

In many important machine learning applications, the standard assumption of having a globally Lipschitz continuous gradient may fail to hold. This paper delves into a more general $(L_0, L_1)$-smoothness setting, which gains particular…

We propose an iterative algorithm for low-rank matrix completion that can be interpreted as an iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) algorithm, a saddle-escaping smoothing Newton method or a variable metric proximal gradient method…

We present a globally convergent method for the solution of frictionless large deformation contact problems for hyperelastic materials. The discretisation uses the mortar method which is known to be more stable than node-to-segment…

This work studies the Low Rank Phase Retrieval (LRPR) problem: recover an $n \times q$ rank-$r$ matrix $X^*$ from $y_k = |A_k^\top x^*_k|$, $k=1, 2,..., q$, when each $y_k$ is an m-length vector containing independent phaseless linear…

We propose a trust-region stochastic sequential quadratic programming algorithm (TR-StoSQP) to solve nonlinear optimization problems with stochastic objectives and deterministic equality constraints. We consider a fully stochastic setting,…

This paper addresses some trust-region methods equipped with nonmonotone strategies for solving nonlinear unconstrained optimization problems. More specifically, the importance of using nonmonotone techniques in nonlinear optimization is…

Estimation of the precision matrix (or inverse covariance matrix) is of great importance in statistical data analysis and machine learning. However, as the number of parameters scales quadratically with the dimension $p$, computation…

Adaptive trust-region methods attempt to maintain strong convergence guarantees without depending on conservative estimates of problem properties such as Lipschitz constants. However, on close inspection, one can show existing adaptive…

This paper proposes a squared smoothing Newton method via the Huber smoothing function for solving semidefinite programming problems (SDPs). We first study the fundamental properties of the matrix-valued mapping defined upon the Huber…

In this paper, we propose a Minimax Trust Region (MINIMAX-TR) algorithm and a Minimax Trust Region Algorithm with Contractions and Expansions(MINIMAX-TRACE) algorithm for solving nonconvex-strongly concave minimax problems. Both algorithms…

In this monograph, we review and develop variable projection Gauss-Newton, Levenberg-Marquardt and Newton methods for the Weighted Low-Rank Approximation (WLRA) problem, which has now an increasing number of applications in many scientific…

It is often useful to have polynomial upper or lower bounds on a one-dimensional function that are valid over a finite interval, called a trust region. A classical way to produce polynomial bounds of degree $k$ involves bounding the range…

In this paper, we study the application of quasi-Newton methods for solving empirical risk minimization (ERM) problems defined over a large dataset. Traditional deterministic and stochastic quasi-Newton methods can be executed to solve such…

From a numerical analysis perspective, assessing the robustness of l1-minimization is a fundamental issue in compressed sensing and sparse regularization. Yet, the recovery guarantees available in the literature usually depend on a priori…

In the low-rank matrix completion (LRMC) problem, the low-rank assumption means that the columns (or rows) of the matrix to be completed are points on a low-dimensional linear algebraic variety. This paper extends this thinking to cases…

The Nystr\"om method is a popular choice for finding a low-rank approximation to a symmetric positive semi-definite matrix. The method can fail when applied to symmetric indefinite matrices, for which the error can be unboundedly large. In…

This paper introduces a modified Byrd-Omojokun (BO) trust region algorithm to address the challenges posed by noisy function and gradient evaluations. The original BO method was designed to solve equality constrained problems and it forms…

Clustering is a hard discrete optimization problem. Nonconvex approaches such as low-rank semidefinite programming (SDP) have recently demonstrated promising statistical and local algorithmic guarantees for cluster recovery. Due to the…

We describe stochastic Newton and stochastic quasi-Newton approaches to efficiently solve large linear least-squares problems where the very large data sets present a significant computational burden (e.g., the size may exceed computer…
