In this paper, we propose a general class of algorithms for optimizing an extensive variety of nonsmoothly penalized objective functions that satisfy certain regularity conditions. The proposed framework utilizes the…

This work investigates the convergence behavior of augmented Lagrangian methods (ALMs) when applied to convex optimization problems that may be infeasible. ALMs are a popular class of algorithms for solving constrained optimization…

Distributed cooperative localization in wireless networks is a challenging problem since it typically requires solving a large-scale nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization problem. In this paper, we reformulate the classic cooperative…

The objective of this paper is to design an efficient and convergent alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for finding a solution of medium accuracy to conic programming problems whose constraints consist of linear equalities,…

We study the solution of minimax problems $\min_x \max_y G(x) + \langle K(x),y\rangle - F^*(y)$ in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. The functionals $G$ and $F^*$ we assume to be convex, but the operator $K$ we allow to be non-linear. We…

In this paper, we study the problem of computing by relaxation hierarchies the infimum of a real polynomial function f on a closed basic semialgebraic set and the points where this infimum is reached, if they exist. We show that when the…

The theory of (tight) wavelet frames has been extensively studied in the past twenty years and they are currently widely used for image restoration and other image processing and analysis problems. The success of wavelet frame based models,…

This paper investigates solving convex composite optimization on an undirected network, where each node, privately endowed with a smooth component function and a nonsmooth one, is required to minimize the sum of all the component functions…

We introduce a new algorithm for complex image reconstruction with separate regularization of the image magnitude and phase. This optimization problem is interesting in many different image reconstruction contexts, although is nonconvex and…

In the context of optical interferometry, only undersampled power spectrum and bispectrum data are accessible. It poses an ill-posed inverse problem for image recovery. Recently, a tri-linear model was proposed for monochromatic imaging,…

Given a dissimilarity matrix, the metric nearness problem is to find the nearest matrix of distances that satisfy the triangle inequalities. This problem has wide applications, such as sensor networks, image processing, and so on. But it is…

We compute precise asymptotic expressions for the learning curves of least squares random feature (RF) models with either a separable strongly convex regularization or the $\ell_1$ regularization. We propose a novel multi-level application…

We consider the problem of minimizing an objective function that is the sum of a convex function and a group sparsity-inducing regularizer. Problems that integrate such regularizers arise in modern machine learning applications, often for…

We consider the sparse optimization problem with nonlinear constraints and an objective function, which is given by the sum of a general smooth mapping and an additional term defined by the $ \ell_0 $-quasi-norm. This term is used to obtain…

When the objective function is not locally Lipschitz, constraint qualifications are no longer sufficient for Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions to hold at a local minimizer, let alone ensuring an exact penalization. In this paper, we…

We consider a novel algorithm, for the completion of partially observed low-rank tensors, as a generalization of matrix completion. The proposed low-rank tensor completion (TC) method builds on the conventional nuclear norm (NN)…

Clustering is a fundamental problem in many scientific applications. Standard methods such as $k$-means, Gaussian mixture models, and hierarchical clustering, however, are beset by local minima, which are sometimes drastically suboptimal.…

Optimization problems under affine constraints appear in various areas of machine learning. We consider the task of minimizing a smooth strongly convex function F(x) under the affine constraint Kx=b, with an oracle providing evaluations of…

Inverse problems are common and important in many applications in computational physics but are inherently ill-posed with many possible model parameters resulting in satisfactory results in the observation space. When solving the inverse…

We are concerned with structured $\ell_0$-norms regularization problems, with a twice continuously differentiable loss function and a box constraint. This class of problems have a wide range of applications in statistics, machine learning…
