We introduce a cutting-plane framework for nonconvex quadratic programs (QPs) that progressively tightens convex relaxations. Our approach leverages the doubly nonnegative (DNN) relaxation to compute strong lower bounds and generate…

This paper is concerned with $\ell_q\,(0<q<1)$-norm regularized minimization problems with a twice continuously differentiable loss function. For this class of nonconvex and nonsmooth composite problems, many algorithms have been proposed…

Recent strides in nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) underscore a dependence on numerical advancements to efficiently and accurately solve large-scale problems. Given the substantial number of variables characterizing typical…

This paper is concerned with a partially linear semiparametric regression model containing an unknown regression coefficient, an unknown nonparametric function, and an unobservable Gaussian distributed random error. We focus on the case of…

The l1-regularized logistic regression is a widely used statistical model in data classification. This paper proposes a dual Newton method based proximal point algorithm (PPDNA) to solve the l1-regularized logistic regression problem with…

We reformulate the zero-norm minimization problem as an equivalent mathematical program with equilibrium constraints and establish that its penalty problem, induced by adding the complementarity constraint to the objective, is exact. Then,…

This paper introduces a flexible regularization approach that reduces point estimation risk of group means stemming from e.g. categorical regressors, (quasi-)experimental data or panel data models. The loss function is penalized by adding…

By the asymptotic oracle property, non-convex penalties represented by minimax concave penalty (MCP) and smoothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD) have attracted much attentions in high-dimensional data analysis, and have been widely used…

$\ell_1$ penalized quantile regression is used in many fields as an alternative to penalized least squares regressions for high-dimensional data analysis. Existing algorithms for penalized quantile regression either use linear programming,…

Quadratic assignment problems are a fundamental class of combinatorial optimization problems which are ubiquitous in applications, yet their exact resolution is NP-hard. To circumvent this impasse, it was proposed to regularize such…

We propose a novel trust region method for solving a class of nonsmooth, nonconvex composite-type optimization problems. The approach embeds inexact semismooth Newton steps for finding zeros of a normal map-based stationarity measure for…

We know that compressive sensing can establish stable sparse recovery results from highly undersampled data under a restricted isometry property condition. In reality, however, numerous problems are coherent, and vast majority conventional…

We propose a new randomized algorithm for solving convex optimization problems that have a large number of constraints (with high probability). Existing methods like interior-point or Newton-type algorithms are hard to apply to such…

Proximal algorithms have gained popularity in recent years in large-scale and distributed optimization problems. One such problem is the phase retrieval problem, for which proximal operators have been proposed recently. The phase retrieval…

In this paper, we introduce a proximal-proximal majorization-minimization (PPMM) algorithm for nonconvex tuning-free robust regression problems. The basic idea is to apply the proximal majorization-minimization algorithm to solve the…

In this paper, we propose new proximal Newton-type methods for convex optimization problems in composite form. The applications include model predictive control (MPC) and embedded MPC. Our new methods are computationally attractive since…

In [19], a general, inexact, efficient proximal quasi-Newton algorithm for composite optimization problems has been proposed and a sublinear global convergence rate has been established. In this paper, we analyze the convergence properties…

Sparsity and rank functions are important ways of regularizing under-determined linear systems. Optimization of the resulting formulations is made difficult since both these penalties are non-convex and discontinuous. The most common remedy…

The low-rank matrix reconstruction (LRMR) approach is widely used in direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation. As the rank norm penalty in an LRMR is NP-hard to compute, the nuclear norm (or the trace norm for a positive semidefinite (PSD)…

We study the composite convex optimization problems with a Quasi-Self-Concordant smooth component. This problem class naturally interpolates between classic Self-Concordant functions and functions with Lipschitz continuous Hessian.…
