Recently Grimmer [1] showed for smooth convex optimization by utilizing longer steps periodically, gradient descent's textbook $LD^2/2T$ convergence guarantees can be improved by constant factors, conjecturing an accelerated rate strictly…
We study the minimization of a convex function $f(X)$ over the set of $n\times n$ positive semi-definite matrices, but when the problem is recast as $\min_U g(U) := f(UU^\top)$, with $U \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times r}$ and $r \leq n$. We study…
This paper considers large scale constrained convex (possibly composite and non-separable) programs, which are usually difficult to solve by interior point methods or other Newton-type methods due to the non-smoothness or the prohibitive…
The proximal inertial gradient descent is efficient for the composite minimization and applicable for broad of machine learning problems. In this paper, we revisit the computational complexity of this algorithm and present other novel…
The Condat-V\~u algorithm is a widely used primal-dual method for optimizing composite objectives of three functions. Several algorithms for optimizing composite objectives of two functions are special cases of Condat-V\~u, including…
We consider strongly convex optimization problems with affine-type restrictions. We build dual problem and solve dual problem by Fast Gradient Method. We use primal-dual structure of this method to construct the solution of the primal…
The incremental gradient method is a prominent algorithm for minimizing a finite sum of smooth convex functions, used in many contexts including large-scale data processing applications and distributed optimization over networks. It is a…
We consider the problem of minimizing the sum of two convex functions: one is the average of a large number of smooth component functions, and the other is a general convex function that admits a simple proximal mapping. We assume the whole…
We address the problem of finding the optimal policy of a constrained Markov decision process (CMDP) using a gradient descent-based algorithm. Previous results have shown that a primal-dual approach can achieve an $\mathcal{O}(1/\sqrt{T})$…
In this paper we propose distributed dual gradient algorithms for linearly constrained separable convex problems and analyze their rate of convergence under different assumptions. Under the strong convexity assumption on the primal…
In this work, we study the computational complexity of reducing the squared gradient magnitude for smooth minimax optimization problems. First, we present algorithms with accelerated $\mathcal{O}(1/k^2)$ last-iterate rates, faster than the…
In this paper, we propose a new primal-dual algorithm for minimizing $f(x) + g(x) + h(Ax)$, where $f$, $g$, and $h$ are proper lower semi-continuous convex functions, $f$ is differentiable with a Lipschitz continuous gradient, and $A$ is a…
The $O(1/k^2)$ convergence rate in function value of accelerated gradient descent is optimal, but there are many modifications that have been used to speed up convergence in practice. Among these modifications are restarts, that is,…
In decentralized learning, a network of nodes cooperate to minimize an overall objective function that is usually the finite-sum of their local objectives, and incorporates a non-smooth regularization term for the better generalization…
In this paper we investigate the convergence of a recently popular class of first-order primal-dual algorithms for saddle point problems under the presence of errors occurring in the proximal maps and gradients. We study several types of…
We develop a novel primal-dual algorithm to solve a class of nonsmooth and nonlinear compositional convex minimization problems, which covers many existing and brand-new models as special cases. Our approach relies on a combination of a new…
This paper investigates accelerating the convergence of distributed optimization algorithms on non-convex problems. We propose a distributed primal-dual stochastic gradient descent~(SGD) equipped with "powerball" method to accelerate. We…
We present two approximate versions of the proximal subgradient method for minimizing the sum of two convex functions (not necessarily differentiable). The algorithms involve, at each iteration, inexact evaluations of the proximal operator…
In this work we consider a possibility to use the conception of $(\delta, L)$-model of a function for optimization tasks, whereby solving a primal problem there is a necessity to recover a solution of a dual problem. The conception of…
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…
