We consider Riemannian inequality-constrained optimization problems. Such problems inherit the benefits of Riemannian approach developed in the unconstrained setting and naturally arise from applications in control, machine learning, and…
Generalized trust-region subproblem (GT) is a nonconvex quadratic optimization with a single quadratic constraint. It reduces to the classical trust-region subproblem (T) if the constraint set is a Euclidean ball. (GT) is polynomially…
Adaptive cubic regularization (ARC) methods for unconstrained optimization compute steps from linear systems involving a shifted Hessian in the spirit of the Levenberg-Marquardt and trust-region methods. The standard approach consists in…
We consider an effective new method for solving trust-region and norm-regularization problems that arise as subproblems in many optimization applications. We show that the solutions to such subproblems effectively lie in a…
Historically speaking, it is hard to balance the global and local efficiency of second-order optimization algorithms. For instance, the classical Newton's method possesses excellent local convergence but lacks global guarantees, often…
Approximating the action of a matrix function $f(\mathbf{A})$ on a vector $\mathbf{b}$ is an increasingly important primitive in machine learning, data science, and statistics, with applications such as sampling high dimensional Gaussians,…
We develop an interior-point method for nonsmooth regularized bound-constrained optimization problems. Our method consists of iteratively solving a sequence of unconstrained nonsmooth barrier subproblems. We use a variant of the proximal…
The trust-region problem, which minimizes a nonconvex quadratic function over a ball, is a key subproblem in trust-region methods for solving nonlinear optimization problems. It enjoys many attractive properties such as an exact…
For the large-scale linear discrete ill-posed problem $\min\|Ax-b\|$ or $Ax=b$ with $b$ contaminated by Gaussian white noise, the Lanczos bidiagonalization based Krylov solver LSQR and its mathematically equivalent CGLS, the Conjugate…
We propose a nonsmooth trust-region method for solving optimization problems with locally Lipschitz continuous functions, with application to problems constrained by variational inequalities of the second kind. Under suitable assumptions on…
This work introduces a new method to efficiently solve optimization problems constrained by partial differential equations (PDEs) with uncertain coefficients. The method leverages two sources of inexactness that trade accuracy for speed:…
Manifold optimization has recently gained significant attention due to its wide range of applications in various areas. This paper introduces the first Riemannian trust region method for minimizing an SC$^1$ function, which is a…
We propose a novel framework for analyzing convergence rates of stochastic optimization algorithms with adaptive step sizes. This framework is based on analyzing properties of an underlying generic stochastic process, in particular by…
We investigate in this paper the generalized trust region subproblem (GTRS) of minimizing a general quadratic objective function subject to a general quadratic inequality constraint. By applying a simultaneous block diagonalization…
Global and block Krylov subspace methods are efficient iterative solvers for large sparse linear systems with multiple right-hand sides. However, global or block Lanczos-type solvers often exhibit large oscillations in the residual norms…
We study the trust-region subproblem (TRS) of minimizing a nonconvex quadratic function over the unit ball with additional conic constraints. Despite having a nonconvex objective, it is known that the classical TRS and a number of its…
In this work we consider the stable numerical solution of large-scale ill-posed nonlinear least squares problems with nonzero residual. We propose a non-stationary Tikhonov method with inexact step computation, specially designed for…
Stochastic gradient-based optimization is crucial to optimize neural networks. While popular approaches heuristically adapt the step size and direction by rescaling gradients, a more principled approach to improve optimizers requires…
In this paper we consider the use of probabilistic or random models within a classical trust-region framework for optimization of deterministic smooth general nonlinear functions. Our method and setting differs from many stochastic…
Physics-informed machine learning and inverse modeling require the solution of ill-conditioned non-convex optimization problems. First-order methods, such as SGD and ADAM, and quasi-Newton methods, such as BFGS and L-BFGS, have been applied…
