This paper explores a new class of constrained difference programming problems, where the objective and constraints are formulated as differences of functions, without requiring their convexity. To investigate such problems, novel variants…

The quantified constraint satisfaction problem (QCSP) is a powerful framework for modelling computational problems. The general intractability of the QCSP has motivated the pursuit of restricted cases that avoid its maximal complexity. In…

Many real-life optimization problems frequently contain one or more constraints or objectives for which there are no explicit formulas. If data is however available, these data can be used to learn the constraints. The benefits of this…

We propose, analyze, and test a proximal-gradient method for solving regularized optimization problems with general constraints. The method employs a decomposition strategy to compute trial steps and uses a merit function to determine step…

The paper concerns optimization problems with general equality and inequality constraints and with constraints expressed by a convex set. In order to solve these problems, the general constraints are treated by an exact penalty functions…

We investigate exact semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations for the problem of minimizing a nonconvex quadratic objective function over a feasible region defined by both finitely and infinitely many nonconvex quadratic inequality…

Regularization and interior point approaches offer valuable perspectives to address constrained nonlinear optimization problems in view of control applications. This paper discusses the interactions between these techniques and proposes an…

This paper considers a nonconvex optimization problem that evolves over time, and addresses the synthesis and analysis of regularized primal-dual gradient methods to track a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) trajectory. The proposed regularized…

This note is concerned with the nonlinear Ky Fan $k$-norm matrix conic optimization problems, which include the nuclear norm regularized minimization problem as a special case. For this class of nonpolyhedral matrix conic optimization…

To every nearly convex optimization problem, that is a minimization problem with a nearly convex objective function and a nearly convex constraint set, we associate a uniquely defined convex optimization problem with a lower semicontinuous…

We present a numerical method for the minimization of constrained optimization problems where the objective is augmented with large quadratic penalties of inconsistent equality constraints. Such objectives arise from quadratic integral…

The asymptotic analysis of a generic stochastic optimization algorithm mainly relies on the establishment of a specific descent condition. While the convexity assumption allows for technical shortcuts and generally leads to strict…

Convex optimization with equality and inequality constraints is a ubiquitous problem in several optimization and control problems in large-scale systems. Recently there has been a lot of interest in establishing accelerated convergence of…

In this paper, we study the mathematical program with equilibrium constraints (MPEC) formulated as a mathematical program with a parametric generalized equation involving the regular normal cone. Compared with the usual way of formulating…

Performance of optimization on quadratic problems sensitively depends on the low-lying part of the spectrum. For large (effectively infinite-dimensional) problems, this part of the spectrum can often be naturally represented or approximated…

This paper proposes a unified framework for the investigation of constrained learning theory in reflexive Banach spaces of features via regularized empirical risk minimization. The focus is placed on Tikhonov-like regularization with…

Regularisation theory in Banach spaces, and non--norm-squared regularisation even in finite dimensions, generally relies upon Bregman divergences to replace norm convergence. This is comparable to the extension of first-order optimisation…

This paper is concerned with a boundary control problem for the Cahn--Hilliard equation coupled with dynamic boundary conditions. In order to handle the control problem, we restrict our analysis to the case of regular potentials defined on…

Answer Set Programming with Quantifiers (ASP(Q)) has been introduced to provide a natural extension of ASP modeling to problems in the polynomial hierarchy (PH). However, ASP(Q) lacks a method for encoding in an elegant and compact way…

Constraint qualifications for a Mathematical Program with Equilibrium Constraints (MPEC) are essential for analyzing stationarity properties and establishing convergence results. In this paper, we explore several classical MPEC constraint…
