We prove the optimal strong convergence rate of a fully discrete scheme, based on a splitting approach, for a stochastic nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equation. The main novelty of our method lies on the uniform a priori estimate and…

We study the applicability of the Peaceman-Rachford (PR) splitting method for solving nonconvex optimization problems. When applied to minimizing the sum of a strongly convex Lipschitz differentiable function and a proper closed function,…

Recently, several convergence rate results for Douglas-Rachford splitting and the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) have been presented in the literature. In this paper, we show global linear convergence rate bounds for…

Although originally designed and analyzed for convex problems, the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) and its close relatives, Douglas-Rachford splitting (DRS) and Peaceman-Rachford splitting (PRS), have been observed to…

Recently, much progress has been made on particle swarm optimization (PSO). A number of works have been devoted to analyzing the convergence of the underlying algorithms. Nevertheless, in most cases, rather simplified hypotheses are used.…

Pushdown systems (PDSs) and recursive state machines (RSMs), which are linearly equivalent, are standard models for interprocedural analysis. Yet RSMs are more convenient as they (a) explicitly model function calls and returns, and (b)…

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…

Alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is a popular first-order method owing to its simplicity and efficiency. However, similar to other proximal splitting methods, the performance of ADMM degrades significantly when the scale…

We develop a stochastic approximation-type algorithm to solve finite state/action, infinite-horizon, risk-aware Markov decision processes. Our algorithm has two loops. The inner loop computes the risk by solving a stochastic saddle-point…

In this work, to efficiently help escape the stationary and saddle points, we propose, analyze, and generalize a stochastic strategy performed as an operator for a first-order gradient descent algorithm in order to increase the target…

Stochastic approximation (SA) algorithms are widely used in system optimization problems when only noisy measurements of the system are available. This paper studies two types of SA algorithms in a multivariate Kiefer-Wolfowitz setting:…

We prove novel convergence results for a stochastic proximal gradient algorithm suitable for solving a large class of convex optimization problems, where a convex objective function is given by the sum of a smooth and a possibly non-smooth…

Stochastic gradient methods are dominant in nonconvex optimization especially for deep models but have low asymptotical convergence due to the fixed smoothness. To address this problem, we propose a simple yet effective method for improving…
