We present a Newton-type method that converges fast from any initialization and for arbitrary convex objectives with Lipschitz Hessians. We achieve this by merging the ideas of cubic regularization with a certain adaptive…

The paper proposes and justifies a new algorithm of the proximal Newton type to solve a broad class of nonsmooth composite convex optimization problems without strong convexity assumptions. Based on advanced notions and techniques of…

Newton's method is the most widespread high-order method, demanding the gradient and the Hessian of the objective function. However, one of the main disadvantages of Newtons method is its lack of global convergence and high iteration cost.…

Newton's method may exhibit slower convergence than vanilla Gradient Descent in its initial phase on strongly convex problems. Classical Newton-type multilevel methods mitigate this but, like Gradient Descent, achieve only linear…

We analyze the performance of a variant of Newton method with quadratic regularization for solving composite convex minimization problems. At each step of our method, we choose regularization parameter proportional to a certain power of the…

We describe inexact proximal Newton-like methods for solving degenerate regularized optimization problems and for the broader problem of finding a zero of a generalized equation that is the sum of a continuous map and a maximal monotone…

In this paper, we present new second-order algorithms for composite convex optimization, called Contracting-domain Newton methods. These algorithms are affine-invariant and based on global second-order lower approximation for the smooth…

We propose a regularized Hessian-free Newton-type method for minimizing smooth convex functions with Lipschitz continuous Hessians. The algorithm constructs an approximate Hessian by finite differences and selects the regularization…

While there already exist randomized subspace Newton methods that restrict the search direction to a random subspace for a convex function, we propose a randomized subspace regularized Newton method for a non-convex function {and more…

Quasi-Newton methods are widely used for solving convex optimization problems due to their ease of implementation, practical efficiency, and strong local convergence guarantees. However, their global convergence is typically established…

This paper investigates the global convergence of stepsized Newton methods for convex functions with H\"older continuous Hessians or third derivatives. We propose several simple stepsize schedules with fast global convergence guarantees, up…

This paper proposes and justifies two globally convergent Newton-type methods to solve unconstrained and constrained problems of nonsmooth optimization by using tools of variational analysis and generalized differentiation. Both methods are…

Motivated by machine learning problems over large data sets and distributed optimization over networks, we develop and analyze a new method called incremental Newton method for minimizing the sum of a large number of strongly convex…

We introduce new multilevel methods for solving large-scale unconstrained optimization problems. Specifically, the philosophy of multilevel methods is applied to Newton-type methods that regularize the Newton sub-problem using second order…

In this paper, we establish global non-asymptotic convergence guarantees for the BFGS quasi-Newton method without requiring strong convexity or the Lipschitz continuity of the gradient or Hessian. Instead, we consider the setting where the…

Finding an $\epsilon$-stationary point of a nonconvex function with a Lipschitz continuous Hessian is a central problem in optimization. Regularized Newton methods are a classical tool and have been studied extensively, yet they still face…

The standard assumption for proving linear convergence of first order methods for smooth convex optimization is the strong convexity of the objective function, an assumption which does not hold for many practical applications. In this…

In this paper, we propose an inexact proximal Newton-type method for nonconvex composite problems. We establish the global convergence rate of the order $\mathcal{O}(k^{-1/2})$ in terms of the minimal norm of the KKT residual mapping and…

In this paper, we study large-scale convex optimization algorithms based on the Newton method applied to regularized generalized self-concordant losses, which include logistic regression and softmax regression. We first prove that our new…
