We study a class of structured convex optimization problems, which have a two-block separable objective and nonlinear functional constraints as well as affine constraints that couple the two block variables. Such problems naturally arise…

This paper considers the optimization problem in the form of $\min_{X \in \mathcal{F}_v} f(x) + \lambda \|X\|_1,$ where $f$ is smooth, $\mathcal{F}_v = \{X \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times q} : X^T X = I_q, v \in \mathrm{span}(X)\}$, and $v$ is a…

Nowadays, L0 optimization model has shown its superiority when pursuing sparsity in many areas. For this nonconvex problem, most of the algorithms can only converge to one of its critical points. In this paper, we consider a general L0…

In numerical relativity simulations with non-trivial matter configurations, one must solve the Hamiltonian and momentum constraints of the ADM formulation for the metric variables in the initial data. We introduce a new scheme based on the…

The $k$-means method is an iterative clustering algorithm which associates each observation with one of $k$ clusters. It traditionally employs cluster centers in the same space as the observed data. By relaxing this requirement, it is…

Numerous machine learning and industrial problems can be modeled as the minimization of a sum of $N$ so-called clipped convex functions (SCC), i.e. each term of the sum stems as the pointwise minimum between a constant and a convex…

Composite minimization is a powerful framework in large-scale convex optimization, based on decoupling of the objective function into terms with structurally different properties and allowing for more flexible algorithmic design. We…
