Distributed optimization algorithms have been studied extensively in the literature; however, underlying most algorithms is a linear consensus scheme, i.e. averaging variables from neighbors via doubly stochastic matrices. We consider…

We present a totally asynchronous algorithm for convex optimization that is based on a novel generalization of Nesterov's accelerated gradient method. This algorithm is developed for fast convergence under "total asynchrony," i.e., allowing…

This work proposes an accelerated first-order algorithm we call the Robust Momentum Method for optimizing smooth strongly convex functions. The algorithm has a single scalar parameter that can be tuned to trade off robustness to gradient…

Nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization problems are frequently encountered in much of statistics, business, science and engineering, but they are not yet widely recognized as a technology in the sense of scalability. A reason for this…

In this work, we investigate a second-order dynamical system with Hessian-driven damping tailored for a class of nonconvex functions called strongly quasiconvex. Buil\-ding upon this continuous-time model, we derive two discrete-time…

Momentum is a popular technique to accelerate the convergence in practical training, and its impact on convergence guarantee has been well-studied for first-order algorithms. However, such a successful acceleration technique has not yet…

We present a numerical method for convergence acceleration for multifidelity models of parameterized ordinary differential equations. The hierarchy of models is defined as trajectories computed using different timesteps in a time…

Momentum methods play a significant role in optimization. Examples include Nesterov's accelerated gradient method and the conditional gradient algorithm. Several momentum methods are provably optimal under standard oracle models, and all…

Composite optimization problems, formulated as the minimization of three functions, are ubiquitous in large-scale machine learning and signal processing. While state-of-the-art splitting methods such as Condat-V\~{u} (CV) [Condat, 2013,…

We present a dynamical system framework for understanding Nesterov's accelerated gradient method. In contrast to earlier work, our derivation does not rely on a vanishing step size argument. We show that Nesterov acceleration arises from…

Distributed and decentralized optimization are key for the control of networked systems. Application examples include distributed model predictive control and distributed sensing or estimation. Non-linear systems, however, lead to problems…

In this paper we propose an efficient distributed algorithm for solving loosely coupled convex optimization problems. The algorithm is based on a primal-dual interior-point method in which we use the alternating direction method of…

The stochastic momentum method is a commonly used acceleration technique for solving large-scale stochastic optimization problems in artificial neural networks. Current convergence results of stochastic momentum methods under non-convex…

A novel method which is called the Chebyshev inertial iteration for accelerating the convergence speed of fixed-point iterations is presented. The Chebyshev inertial iteration can be regarded as a valiant of the successive over relaxation…

In this paper we study several classes of stochastic optimization algorithms enriched with heavy ball momentum. Among the methods studied are: stochastic gradient descent, stochastic Newton, stochastic proximal point and stochastic dual…

We introduce a generic scheme to solve nonconvex optimization problems using gradient-based algorithms originally designed for minimizing convex functions. Even though these methods may originally require convexity to operate, the proposed…

In this paper, we propose a randomized intertial block-coordinate primaldual fixed point algorithm to solve a wide array of monotone inclusion problems base on the modification of the heavy ball method of Nesterov. These methods rely on a…

We present a unified convergence analysis for first order convex optimization methods using the concept of strong Lyapunov conditions. Combining this with suitable time scaling factors, we are able to handle both convex and strong convex…

This paper presents a novel accelerated distributed algorithm for unconstrained consensus optimization over static undirected networks. The proposed algorithm combines the benefits of acceleration from momentum, the robustness of the…

The linear primal-dual hybrid gradient (PDHG) method is a first-order method that splits convex optimization problems with saddle-point structure into smaller subproblems. Unlike those obtained in most splitting methods, these subproblems…
