In this paper, we study the Kurdyka-{\L}ojasiewicz (KL) exponent, an important quantity for analyzing the convergence rate of first-order methods. Specifically, we develop various calculus rules to deduce the KL exponent of new (possibly…
Solving the trust-region subproblem (TRS) plays a key role in numerical optimization and many other applications. The generalized Lanczos trust-region (GLTR) method is a well-known Lanczos type approach for solving a large-scale TRS. The…
The Kurdyka-{\L}ojasiewicz (K{\L}) property, exponent and modulus have played a very important role in the study of global convergence and rate of convergence for optimal algorithms. In this paper, at a stationary point of a locally lower…
Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz (KL) exponent plays an important role in estimating the convergence rate of many contemporary first-order methods. In particular, a KL exponent of $\frac12$ for a suitable potential function is related to local linear…
The trust region subproblem (TRS) is to minimize a possibly nonconvex quadratic function over a Euclidean ball. There are typically two cases for (TRS), the so-called ``easy case'' and ``hard case''. Even in the ``easy case'', the sequence…
Adaptive trust-region methods attempt to maintain strong convergence guarantees without depending on conservative estimates of problem properties such as Lipschitz constants. However, on close inspection, one can show existing adaptive…
The trust-region (TR) method is renowned historically for its robustness in nonconvex problems and extraordinary numerical performance, but the study of its performance in convex optimization is somehow limited. This paper complements the…
We present an adaptive trust-region method for unconstrained optimization that allows inexact solutions to the trust-region subproblems. Our method is a simple variant of the classical trust-region method of \citet{sorensen1982newton}. The…
We study a class of nonconvex-nonconcave minimax problems in which the inner maximization problem satisfies a local Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz (KL) condition that may vary with the outer minimization variable. In contrast to the global KL or…
In this paper, we consider the extended trust region subproblem (\eTRS) which is the minimization of an indefinite quadratic function subject to the intersection of unit ball with a single linear inequality constraint. Using a variation of…
We study the random reshuffling (RR) method for smooth nonconvex optimization problems with a finite-sum structure. Though this method is widely utilized in practice such as the training of neural networks, its convergence behavior is only…
In this paper, we investigate the growth error bound condition. By using the proximal point algorithm, we first provide a more accessible and elementary proof of the fact that Kurdyka-{\L}ojasiewicz conditions imply growth error bound…
The generalized Lanczos trust-region (GLTR) method is one of the most popular approaches for solving large-scale trust-region subproblem (TRS). Recently, Jia and Wang [Z. Jia and F. Wang, \emph{SIAM J. Optim., 31 (2021), pp. 887--914}]…
We study the convergence properties of a general inertial first-order proximal splitting algorithm for solving nonconvex nonsmooth optimization problems. Using the Kurdyka--\L ojaziewicz (KL) inequality we establish new convergence rates…
This paper shows that error bounds can be used as effective tools for deriving complexity results for first-order descent methods in convex minimization. In a first stage, this objective led us to revisit the interplay between error bounds…
In this paper we present an abstract convergence analysis of inexact descent methods in Riemannian context for functions satisfying Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz inequality. In particular, without any restrictive assumption about the sign of the…
In this paper, we consider a class of nonsmooth sum-of-ratios fractional optimization problems with block structure. This model class is ubiquitous and encompasses several important nonsmooth optimization problems in the literature. We…
A central tool for understanding first-order optimization algorithms is the Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz inequality. Standard approaches to such methods rely crucially on this inequality to leverage sufficient decrease conditions involving gradients…
In this paper, we first establish the equivalence of three types of error bounds: uniformized Kurdyka-{\L}ojasiewicz (u-KL) property, uniformized level-set subdifferential error bound (u-LSEB) and uniformized H\"{o}lder error bound (u-HEB)…
We study the complexity of finding the global solution to stochastic nonconvex optimization when the objective function satisfies global Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz (KL) inequality and the queries from stochastic gradient oracles satisfy mild…
