We develop a method to solve, theoretically and numerically, general optimal stopping problems. Our general setting allows for multiple exercise rights, i.e., optimal multiple stopping, for a robust evaluation that accounts for model…

The Potts model has many applications. It is equivalent to some min-cut and max-flow models. Primal-dual algorithms have been used to solve these problems. Due to the special structure of the models, convergence proof is still a difficult…

Multi-agent distributed consensus optimization problems arise in many signal processing applications. Recently, the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) has been used for solving this family of problems. ADMM based distributed…

The Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) has now days gained tremendous attentions for solving large-scale machine learning and signal processing problems due to the relative simplicity. However, the two-block structure of the…

The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is a most widely used optimization scheme for solving linearly constrained separable convex optimization problems. The convergence of the ADMM can be guaranteed when the dual step…

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…

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in mathematical models leading to the minimization, in a symmetric matrix space, of a Bregman divergence coupled with a regularization term. We address problems of this type within a…

This paper studies a multiobjective bilevel optimization problem where each objective is a fractional function. By reformulating the problem into a single-level one, we establish refined necessary and sufficient optimality conditions. These…

We consider a class of Riemannian optimization problems where the objective is the sum of a smooth function and a nonsmooth function, considered in the ambient space. This class of problems finds important applications in machine learning…

This paper derives a discrete dual problem for a prototypical hybrid high-order method for convex minimization problems. The discrete primal and dual problem satisfy a weak convex duality that leads to a priori error estimates with…

The aim of this paper is to study the convergence of the primal-dual dynamics pertaining to Support Vector Machines (SVM). The optimization routine, used for determining an SVM for classification, is first formulated as a dynamical system.…

The Douglas--Rachford algorithm is a classical and very successful splitting method for finding the zeros of the sums of monotone operators. When the underlying operators are normal cone operators, the algorithm solves a convex feasibility…

Nonconvex and structured optimization problems arise in many engineering applications that demand scalable and distributed solution methods. The study of the convergence properties of these methods is in general difficult due to the…

We analyze several generic proximal splitting algorithms well suited for large-scale convex nonsmooth optimization. We derive sublinear and linear convergence results with new rates on the function value suboptimality or distance to the…

We show that a broad range of convex optimization algorithms, including alternating projection, operator splitting, and multiplier methods, can be systematically derived from the framework of subspace correction methods via convex duality.…

We tackle highly nonconvex, nonsmooth composite optimization problems whose objectives comprise a Moreau-Yosida regularized term. Classical nonconvex proximal splitting algorithms, such as nonconvex ADMM, suffer from lack of convergence for…

In this paper, based a novel primal-dual dynamical model with adaptive scaling parameters and Bregman divergences, we propose new accelerated primal-dual proximal gradient splitting methods for solving bilinear saddle-point problems with…

We consider the convex-concave saddle point problem $\min_{\mathbf{x}}\max_{\mathbf{y}}\Phi(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y})$, where the decision variables $\mathbf{x}$ and/or $\mathbf{y}$ subject to a multi-block structure and affine coupling…

Proximal splitting algorithms are well suited to solving large-scale nonsmooth optimization problems, in particular those arising in machine learning. We propose a new primal-dual algorithm, in which the dual update is randomized;…

To reduce complexity and achieve scalable performance in high-dimensional black-box settings, we propose a distributed method for nonconvex derivative-free optimization of continuous variables with an additively separable objective, subject…
