We consider the problem of optimizing the sum of a smooth convex function and a non-smooth convex function using proximal-gradient methods, where an error is present in the calculation of the gradient of the smooth term or in the proximity…

We present new analysis and algorithm of the dual-averaging-type (DA-type) methods for solving the composite convex optimization problem ${\min}_{x\in\mathbb{R}^n} \, f(\mathsf{A} x) + h(x)$, where $f$ is a convex and globally Lipschitz…

Stochastic gradient method (SGM) has been popularly applied to solve optimization problems with objective that is stochastic or an average of many functions. Most existing works on SGMs assume that the underlying problem is unconstrained or…

In this paper, we propose an inexact proximal Newton-type method for nonconvex composite problems. We establish the global convergence rate of the order $\mathcal{O}(k^{-1/2})$ in terms of the minimal norm of the KKT residual mapping and…

In this paper, we propose Riemannian conditional gradient methods for minimizing composite functions, i.e., those that can be expressed as the sum of a smooth function and a retraction-based convex function. We analyze the convergence of…

In dual decomposition, the dual to an optimization problem with a specific structure is solved in distributed fashion using (sub)gradient and recently also fast gradient methods. The traditional dual decomposition suffers from two main…

We consider nonsmooth optimization problems under affine constraints, where the objective consists of the average of the component functions of a large number $N$ of agents, and we only assume access to the Fenchel conjugate of the…

We study the iteration complexity of the optimistic gradient descent-ascent (OGDA) method and the extra-gradient (EG) method for finding a saddle point of a convex-concave unconstrained min-max problem. To do so, we first show that both…

For minimizing a strongly convex objective function subject to linear inequality constraints, we consider a penalty approach that allows one to utilize stochastic methods for problems with a large number of constraints and/or objective…

In this work, we are concerned with the decentralized optimization problem: \begin{equation*} \min_{x \in \Omega}~f(x) = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n f_i (x), \end{equation*} where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is a convex domain and each $f_i…

We present a new feasible proximal gradient method for constrained optimization where both the objective and constraint functions are given by the summation of a smooth, possibly nonconvex function and a convex simple function. The…

When minimizing a multiobjective optimization problem (MOP) using multiobjective gradient descent methods, the imbalances among objective functions often decelerate the convergence. In response to this challenge, we propose two types of the…

In this paper, we present novel randomized algorithms for solving saddle point problems whose dual feasible region is given by the direct product of many convex sets. Our algorithms can achieve an ${\cal O}(1/N)$ and ${\cal O}(1/N^2)$ rate…

Dual ascent (DA) and the method of multipliers (MM) are fundamental methods for solving linear equality-constrained convex optimization problems, and their dual updates can be viewed as the minimization of a proximal linear surrogate…

Many works in convex optimization provide rates for achieving a small primal gap. However, this quantity is typically unavailable in practice. In this work, we show that solving a regularized surrogate with algorithms based on simple…

We consider stochastic gradient methods under the interpolation regime where a perfect fit can be obtained (minimum loss at each observation). While previous work highlighted the implicit regularization of such algorithms, we consider an…

One of the most popular and important first-order iterations that provides optimal complexity of the classical proximal gradient method (PGM) is the "Fast Iterative Shrinkage/Thresholding Algorithm" (FISTA). In this paper, two inexact…

We present a unified viewpoint of proximal point method (PPM), primal-dual hybrid gradient (PDHG) and alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for solving convex-concave primal-dual problems. This viewpoint shows the equivalence…

This paper aims to address distributed optimization problems over directed and time-varying networks, where the global objective function consists of a sum of locally accessible convex objective functions subject to a feasible set…

We investigate a difference-of-convex (DC) formulation where the second term is allowed to be weakly convex. We examine the precise behavior of a single iteration of the difference-of-convex algorithm (DCA), providing a tight…
