Coordinate descent algorithms are popular for huge-scale optimization problems due to their low cost per-iteration. Coordinate descent methods apply to problems where the constraint set is separable across coordinates. In this paper, we…

In this note, we show a sublinear nonergodic convergence rate for the algorithm developed in [Bai, et al. Generalized symmetric ADMM for separable convex optimization. Comput. Optim. Appl. 70, 129-170 (2018)], as well as its linear…

This paper focuses on stochastic proximal gradient methods for optimizing a smooth non-convex loss function with a non-smooth non-convex regularizer and convex constraints. To the best of our knowledge we present the first non-asymptotic…

A very popular approach for solving stochastic optimization problems is the stochastic gradient descent method (SGD). Although the SGD iteration is computationally cheap and the practical performance of this method may be satisfactory under…

We consider a method of pairwise variations for smooth optimization problems, which involve polyhedral constraints. It consists in making steps with respect to the difference of two selected extreme points of the feasible set together with…

The stochastic gradient descent has been widely used for solving composite optimization problems in big data analyses. Many algorithms and convergence properties have been developed. The composite functions were convex primarily and…

In two earlier papers, we designed a distributed deterministic asynchronous algorithm for minimizing the sum of subdifferentiable and proximable functions and a regularizing quadratic on time-varying graphs based on Dykstra's algorithm, or…

We study the worst-case convergence rates of the proximal gradient method for minimizing the sum of a smooth strongly convex function and a non-smooth convex function whose proximal operator is available. We establish the exact worst-case…

We study the convergence rate of gradient-based local search methods for solving low-rank matrix recovery problems with general objectives in both symmetric and asymmetric cases, under the assumption of the restricted isometry property.…

In this paper, we consider gradient-type methods for convex positively homogeneous optimization problems with relative accuracy. An analogue of the accelerated universal gradient-type method for positively homogeneous optimization problems…

Based on a result by Taylor, Hendrickx, and Glineur (J. Optim. Theory Appl., 178(2):455--476, 2018) on the attainable convergence rate of gradient descent for smooth and strongly convex functions in terms of function values, an elementary…

We propose and analyze a new parallel coordinate descent method---`NSync---in which at each iteration a random subset of coordinates is updated, in parallel, allowing for the subsets to be chosen non-uniformly. We derive convergence rates…

In this paper, we describe a new way to get convergence rates for optimal methods in smooth (strongly) convex optimization tasks. Our approach is based on results for tasks where gradients have nonrandom small noises. Unlike previous…

Newton's method may exhibit slower convergence than vanilla Gradient Descent in its initial phase on strongly convex problems. Classical Newton-type multilevel methods mitigate this but, like Gradient Descent, achieve only linear…

We propose new restarting strategies for the accelerated coordinate descent method. Our main contribution is to show that for a well chosen sequence of restarting times, the restarted method has a nearly geometric rate of convergence. A…

Large sectors of the recent optimization literature focused in the last decade on the development of optimal stochastic first order schemes for constrained convex models under progressively relaxed assumptions. Stochastic proximal point is…

We adapt the quasi-monotone method from [2] for composite convex minimization in the stochastic setting. For the proposed numerical scheme we derive the optimal convergence rate in terms of the last iterate, rather than on average as it is…

In [19], a general, inexact, efficient proximal quasi-Newton algorithm for composite optimization problems has been proposed and a sublinear global convergence rate has been established. In this paper, we analyze the convergence properties…

The asymptotically optimal version of Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (RRT*) is often used to find optimal paths in a high-dimensional configuration space. The well-known issue of RRT* is its slow convergence towards the optimal solution. A…
