Second-order variational properties have been shown to play important theoretical and numerical roles for different classes of optimization problems. Among such properties, twice epi-differentiability has a special place because of its…
This paper presents a modified iterative approach to solve the variational inequality problem using the double inertial technique in the context of a real Hilbert space. Our iterative technique involves a projection onto a generalized…
The presence of second-order smoothness for objective functions of optimization problems can provide valuable information about their stability properties and help us design efficient numerical algorithms for solving these problems. Such…
This work provides a systematic study of the variational properties of decomposable functions which are compositions of an outer support function and an inner smooth mapping under certain constraint qualifications. A particular focus is put…
The paper is devoted to the study of the twice epi-differentiablity of extended-real-valued functions, with an emphasis on functions satisfying a certain composite representation. This will be conducted under the parabolic regularity, a…
Variational convexity, together with ist strong counterpart, of extended-real-valued functions has been recently introduced by Rockafellar. In this paper we present second-order characterizations of these properties, i.e., conditions using…
This paper continues earlier work and is concerned with the inverse problem of parameter identification in variational inequalities of the second kind that does not only treat the parameter linked to a bilinear form, but importantly also…
Variational analysis provides the theoretical foundations and practical tools for constructing optimization algorithms without being restricted to smooth or convex problems. We survey the central concepts in the context of a concrete but…
In this paper, our focus lies on the study of the second-order variational analysis of orthogonally invariant matrix functions. It is well-known that an orthogonally invariant matrix function is an extended-real-value function defined on…
This paper investigates the value function, $V$, of a Mayer optimal control problem with the state equation given by a differential inclusion. First, we obtain an invariance property for the proximal and Fr\'echet subdifferentials of $V$…
Information divergences allow one to assess how close two distributions are from each other. Among the large panel of available measures, a special attention has been paid to convex $\varphi$-divergences, such as Kullback-Leibler,…
This paper studies Stochastic Shortest Path (SSP) problems in known and unknown environments from the perspective of convex optimisation. It first recalls results in the known parameter case, and develops understanding through different…
In this work we derive a second-order approach to bilevel optimization, a type of mathematical programming in which the solution to a parameterized optimization problem (the "lower" problem) is itself to be optimized (in the "upper"…
The paper concerns the second-order generalized differentiation theory of variational analysis and new applications of this theory to some problems of constrained optimization in finitedimensional spaces. The main attention is paid to the…
We propose a new approach to compute an interval over-approximation of the finite time reachable set for a large class of nonlinear systems. This approach relies on the notions of sensitivity matrices, which are the partial derivatives…
This paper suggests two novel ideas to develop new proximal variable-metric methods for solving a class of composite convex optimization problems. The first idea is a new parameterization of the optimality condition which allows us to…
$\mathcal C^2$-partial smoothness of functions has been an important subject of research in optimization, on both theoretical and algorithmic aspects, since it was first introduced by Lewis in 2002. Our work aims at providing a fresh…
Motivated by problems in contact mechanics, we propose a duality approach for computing approximations and associated a posteriori error bounds to solutions of variational inequalities of the first kind. The proposed approach improves upon…
Variational inequalities represent a broad class of problems, including minimization and min-max problems, commonly found in machine learning. Existing second-order and high-order methods for variational inequalities require precise…
INTRODUCTION This papers deals with partial differential equations of second order, linear, with constant and not constant coefficients, in two variables, which admit real characteristics. I face the study of PDEs with the mentality of the…
