This paper presents the Lagrangian duality theory for mixed-integer semidefinite programming (MISDP). We derive the Lagrangian dual problem and prove that the resulting Lagrangian dual bound dominates the bound obtained from the continuous…

In this paper we consider a class of convex conic programming. In particular, we first propose an inexact augmented Lagrangian (I-AL) method that resembles the classical I-AL method for solving this problem, in which the augmented…

We consider least squares semidefinite programming (LSSDP) where the primal matrix variable must satisfy given linear equality and inequality constraints, and must also lie in the intersection of the cone of symmetric positive semidefinite…

We propose a manifold optimization approach to solve linear semidefinite programs (SDP) with low-rank solutions, with an emphasis on SDP relaxations for polynomial optimization problems. This approach incorporates the inexact augmented…

This paper addresses problems of second-order cone programming important in optimization theory and applications. The main attention is paid to the augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) for such problems considered in both exact and inexact…

In 2020, Yamakawa and Okuno proposed a stabilized sequential quadratic semidefinite programming (SQSDP) method for solving, in particular, degenerate nonlinear semidefinite optimization problems. The algorithm is shown to converge globally…

In the context of augmented Lagrangian approaches for solving semidefinite programming problems, we investigate the possibility of eliminating the positive semidefinite constraint on the dual matrix by employing a factorization. Hints on…

This paper considers smooth convex optimization problems with many functional constraints. To solve this general class of problems we propose a new stochastic perturbed augmented Lagrangian method, called SGDPA, where a perturbation is…

Semidefinite programming (SDP) is a fundamental convex optimization problem with wide-ranging applications. However, solving large-scale instances remains computationally challenging due to the high cost of solving linear systems and…

We present a method for solving the general mixed constrained convex quadratic programming problem using an active set method on the dual problem. The approach is similar to existing active set methods, but we present a new way of solving…

Polynomial optimization problems (POPs) can be reformulated as geometric convex conic programs, as shown by Kim, Kojima, and Toh (SIOPT 30:1251-1273, 2020), though such formulations remain NP-hard. In this work, we prove that several…

Motivated by robotic trajectory optimization problems we consider the Augmented Lagrangian approach to constrained optimization. We first propose an alternative augmentation of the Lagrangian to handle the inequality case (not based on…

We propose a practical inexact augmented Lagrangian method (iALM) for nonconvex problems with nonlinear constraints. We characterize the total computational complexity of our method subject to a verifiable geometric condition, which is…

Non-convex functional constrained optimization problems have gained substantial attention in machine learning and data science, addressing broad requirements that typically go beyond the often performance-centric objectives. An influential…

Conventional wisdom in composite optimization suggests augmented Lagrangian dual ascent (ALDA) in Peaceman-Rachford splitting (PRS) methods for dual feasibility. However, ALDA may fail when the primal iterate is a local minimum, a…

The auxiliary problem principle of augmented Lagrangian (APP-AL), proposed by Cohen and Zhu (1984), aims to find the solution of a constrained optimization problem through a sequence of auxiliary problems involving augmented Lagrangian. The…

We introduce a primal-dual framework for solving linearly constrained nonconvex composite optimization problems. Our approach is based on a newly developed Lagrangian, which incorporates \emph{false penalty} and dual smoothing terms. This…

In this paper, "chance optimization" problems are introduced, where one aims at maximizing the probability of a set defined by polynomial inequalities. These problems are, in general, nonconvex and computationally hard. With the objective…

Trajectory optimization is an efficient approach for solving optimal control problems for complex robotic systems. It relies on two key components: first the transcription into a sparse nonlinear program, and second the corresponding solver…

In this paper, we propose a penalty dual-primal augmented lagrangian method for solving convex minimization problems under linear equality or inequality constraints. The proposed method combines a novel penalty technique with updates the…
