The Blahut-Arimoto algorithm is a well-known method to compute classical channel capacities and rate-distortion functions. Recent works have extended this algorithm to compute various quantum analogs of these quantities. In this paper, we…

The iteration complexity of the block-coordinate descent (BCD) type algorithm has been under extensive investigation. It was recently shown that for convex problems the classical cyclic BCGD (block coordinate gradient descent) achieves an…

Optimizing strongly convex functions subject to linear constraints is a fundamental problem with numerous applications. In this work, we propose a block (accelerated) randomized Bregman-Kaczmarz method that only uses a block of constraints…

In this paper, we study nonconvex constrained stochastic zeroth-order optimization problems, for which we have access to exact information of constraints and noisy function values of the objective. We propose a Bregman linearized augmented…

Due to simplicity, computational cheapness, and efficiency, the Barzilai and Borwein (BB) gradient method has received a significant amount of attention in different fields of optimization. In the first part of this paper, based on spectral…

We present two stochastic descent algorithms that apply to unconstrained optimization and are particularly efficient when the objective function is slow to evaluate and gradients are not easily obtained, as in some PDE-constrained…

This paper presents active-set methods for minimizing nonconvex twice-continuously differentiable functions subject to bound constraints. Within the faces of the feasible set, we employ descent methods with Armijo line search, utilizing…

RES, a regularized stochastic version of the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) quasi-Newton method is proposed to solve convex optimization problems with stochastic objectives. The use of stochastic gradient descent algorithms is…

We prove that the block-coordinate Frank-Wolfe (BCFW) algorithm converges with state-of-the-art rates in both convex and nonconvex settings under a very mild "block-iterative" assumption. This appears to be the first result on BCFW…

We introduce an abstract algorithm that aims to find the Bregman projection onto a closed convex set. As an application, the asymptotic behaviour of an iterative method for finding a fixed point of a quasi Bregman nonexpansive mapping with…

Quasi branch and bound is a recently introduced generalization of branch and bound, where lower bounds are replaced by a relaxed notion of quasi-lower bounds, required to be lower bounds only for sub-cubes containing a minimizer. This paper…

In recent years, nonconvex minimax problems have attracted significant attention due to their broad applications in machine learning, including generative adversarial networks, robust optimization and adversarial training. Most existing…

Global convergence of an online (stochastic) limited memory version of the Broyden-Fletcher- Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) quasi-Newton method for solving optimization problems with stochastic objectives that arise in large scale machine learning…

This work provides the first convergence analysis for the Randomized Block Coordinate Descent method for minimizing a function that is both H\"older smooth and block H\"older smooth. Our analysis applies to objective functions that are…

The alternating direction method with multipliers (ADMM) has been one of most powerful and successful methods for solving various composite problems. The convergence of the conventional ADMM (i.e., 2-block) for convex objective functions…

Motivated by a constrained minimization problem, it is studied the gradient flows with respect to Hessian Riemannian metrics induced by convex functions of Legendre type. The first result characterizes Hessian Riemannian structures on…

In this paper, based on function information, we propose a modified BFGS-type method for nonconvex multiobjective optimization problems (MFQNMO). In the multiobjective quasi-Newton method (QNMO), each iteration involves separately…

Many important machine learning applications involve regularized nonconvex bi-level optimization. However, the existing gradient-based bi-level optimization algorithms cannot handle nonconvex or nonsmooth regularizers, and they suffer from…

In this paper, we introduce a stochastic projected subgradient method for weakly convex (i.e., uniformly prox-regular) nonsmooth, nonconvex functions---a wide class of functions which includes the additive and convex composite classes. At a…

Nonconvex optimization problems arise in many areas of computational science and engineering and are (approximately) solved by a variety of algorithms. Existing algorithms usually only have local convergence or subsequence convergence of…
