We present two classes of differentially private optimization algorithms derived from the well-known accelerated first-order methods. The first algorithm is inspired by Polyak's heavy ball method and employs a smoothing approach to decrease…

In this paper, we study an explicit Tikhonov-regularized inertial gradient algorithm for smooth convex minimization with Lipschitz continuous gradient. The method is derived via an explicit time discretization of a damped inertial system…

We investigate the asymptotic properties of the trajectories generated by a second-order dynamical system with Hessian driven damping and a Tikhonov regularization term in connection with the minimization of a smooth convex function in…

Arguably, the two most popular accelerated or momentum-based optimization methods in machine learning are Nesterov's accelerated gradient and Polyaks's heavy ball, both corresponding to different discretizations of a particular second order…

We revisit the Ravine method of Gelfand and Tsetlin from a dynamical system perspective, study its convergence properties, and highlight its similarities and differences with the Nesterov accelerated gradient method. The two methods are…

We present a variant of accelerated gradient descent algorithms, adapted from Nesterov's optimal first-order methods, for weakly-quasi-convex and weakly-quasi-strongly-convex functions. We show that by tweaking the so-called estimate…

We investigate an inertial algorithm of gradient type in connection with the minimization of a nonconvex differentiable function. The algorithm is formulated in the spirit of Nesterov's accelerated convex gradient method. We show that the…

A class of second-order algorithms is proposed for minimizing smooth nonconvex functions that alternates between regularized Newton and negative curvature steps in an iteration-dependent subspace. In most cases, the Hessian matrix is…

We propose an unconstrained optimization method based on the well-known primal-dual hybrid gradient (PDHG) algorithm. We first formulate the optimality condition of the unconstrained optimization problem as a saddle point problem. We then…

Ever since the original algorithm by Nesterov (1983), the true nature of the acceleration phenomenon has remained elusive, with various interpretations of why the method is actually faster. The diagnosis of the algorithm through the lens of…

We study nonsmooth convex minimization through a continuous-time dynamical system that can be seen as a high-resolution ODE of Nesterov Accelerated Gradient (NAG) adapted to the nonsmooth case. We apply a time-varying Moreau envelope…

We consider unconstrained minimization of smooth convex functions. We propose a novel variational perspective using forced Euler-Lagrange equation that allows for studying high-resolution ODEs. Through this, we obtain a faster convergence…

First order optimization algorithms play a major role in large scale machine learning. A new class of methods, called adaptive algorithms, were recently introduced to adjust iteratively the learning rate for each coordinate. Despite great…

We study the behavior of first-order methods applied to a lower-unbounded convex function $f$, i.e., $\inf f = -\infty$. Such a setting has received little attention since the trajectories of gradient descent and Nesterov's accelerated…

We consider unconstrained randomized optimization of convex objective functions. We analyze the Random Pursuit algorithm, which iteratively computes an approximate solution to the optimization problem by repeated optimization over a…

In this paper, we investigate the inverse quasi-variational inequality problem in finite-dimensional spaces. First, we introduce a second-order dynamical system whose trajectory converges exponentially to the solution of the inverse…

We aim at computing the derivative of the solution to a parametric optimization problem with respect to the involved parameters. For a class broader than that of strongly convex functions, this can be achieved by automatic differentiation…

In a Hilbert setting, for convex differentiable optimization, we develop a general framework for adaptive accelerated gradient methods. They are based on damped inertial dynamics where the coefficients are designed in a closed-loop way.…

We investigate the asymptotic convergence of the trajectories generated by the second order dynamical system $\ddot x(t) + \gamma\dot x(t) + \nabla \phi(x(t))+\beta(t)\nabla \psi(x(t))=0$, where $\phi,\psi:{\cal H}\rightarrow \R$ are convex…

In this paper, we consider the minimization of a $C^2-$smooth and strongly convex objective depending on a given parameter, which is usually found in many practical applications. We suppose that we desire to solve the problem with some…
