In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm for solving a linear optimization problem with entropic constraints, a class of problems that arises in game theory and information theory. Our analysis distinguishes between the cases of…

We present a new feasible proximal gradient method for constrained optimization where both the objective and constraint functions are given by the summation of a smooth, possibly nonconvex function and a convex simple function. The…

In this paper we develop a Bregman regularized proximal point algorithm for solving monotone equilibrium problems on Hadamard manifolds. It has been shown that the regularization term induced by a Bregman function is, in general, nonconvex…

The Augmented Lagrangian Method as an approach for regularizing inverse problems received much attention recently, e.g. under the name Bregman iteration in imaging. This work shows convergence (rates) for this method when Morozov's…

In this paper, we study a class of convex composite optimization problems. We begin by characterizing the equivalence between the primal/dual strong second-order sufficient condition and the dual/primal nondegeneracy condition. Building on…
