In this paper, we explore the non-asymptotic global convergence rates of the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) method implemented with exact line search. Notably, due to Dixon's equivalence result, our findings are also applicable to…

We study the local convergence of classical quasi-Newton methods for nonlinear optimization. Although it was well established a long time ago that asymptotically these methods converge superlinearly, the corresponding rates of convergence…

We present a new theoretical analysis of local superlinear convergence of classical quasi-Newton methods from the convex Broyden class. As a result, we obtain a significant improvement in the currently known estimates of the convergence…

In this paper, we study greedy variants of quasi-Newton methods. They are based on the updating formulas from a certain subclass of the Broyden family. In particular, this subclass includes the well-known DFP, BFGS and SR1 updates. However,…

Optimization is important in machine learning problems, and quasi-Newton methods have a reputation as the most efficient numerical schemes for smooth unconstrained optimization. In this paper, we consider the explicit superlinear…

Non-asymptotic analysis of quasi-Newton methods have gained traction recently. In particular, several works have established a non-asymptotic superlinear rate of $\mathcal{O}((1/\sqrt{t})^t)$ for the (classic) BFGS method by exploiting the…

This paper adapts a recently developed regularized stochastic version of the Broyden, Fletcher, Goldfarb, and Shanno (BFGS) quasi-Newton method for the solution of support vector machine classification problems. The proposed method is shown…

We introduce the decentralized Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (D-BFGS) method as a variation of the BFGS quasi-Newton method for solving decentralized optimization problems. The D-BFGS method is of interest in problems that are not well…

In Part I of this work, we have proposed a general framework of decentralized stochastic quasi-Newton methods, which converge linearly to the optimal solution under the assumption that the local Hessian inverse approximations have bounded…

The quasi-Newton Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) method has proven to be very reliable and efficient for the minimization of smooth objective functions since its inception in the 1960s. Recently, it was observed empirically that it…

This paper studies the convergence rates of the Broyden--Fletcher--Goldfarb--Shanno~(BFGS) method without line search. We show that the BFGS method with an adaptive step size [Gao and Goldfarb, Optimization Methods and Software,…

Designing efficient quasi-Newton methods is an important problem in nonlinear optimization and the solution of systems of nonlinear equations. From the perspective of the matrix approximation process, this paper presents a unified framework…

This paper studies quasi-Newton methods for solving strongly-convex-strongly-concave saddle point problems (SPP). We propose greedy and random Broyden family updates for SPP, which have explicit local superlinear convergence rate of…

In this paper, we study the explicit superlinear convergence rates of quasi-Newton methods. We particularly focus on the classical Broyden's method for solving nonlinear equations. We establish its explicit (local) superlinear convergence…

This paper considers consensus optimization problems where each node of a network has access to a different summand of an aggregate cost function. Nodes try to minimize the aggregate cost function, while they exchange information only with…

Deep learning algorithms often require solving a highly non-linear and nonconvex unconstrained optimization problem. Methods for solving optimization problems in large-scale machine learning, such as deep learning and deep reinforcement…

We consider the use of a curvature-adaptive step size in gradient-based iterative methods, including quasi-Newton methods, for minimizing self-concordant functions, extending an approach first proposed for Newton's method by Nesterov. This…

Since the late 1950's when quasi-Newton methods first appeared, they have become one of the most widely used and efficient algorithmic paradigms for unconstrained optimization. Despite their immense practical success, there is little theory…

We consider the finite-sum optimization problem, where each component function is strongly convex and has Lipschitz continuous gradient and Hessian. The recently proposed incremental quasi-Newton method is based on BFGS update and achieves…

While first-order methods are popular for solving optimization problems that arise in large-scale deep learning problems, they come with some acute deficiencies. To diminish such shortcomings, there has been recent interest in applying…
