In a Hilbert setting, we develop a gradient-based dynamic approach for fast solving convex optimization problems. By applying time scaling, averaging, and perturbation techniques to the continuous steepest descent (SD), we obtain…
We propose and analyze a class of second-order dynamical systems for continuous-time optimization that incorporate fractional-order gradient terms. The system is given by \begin{equation} \ddot{x}(t) + \frac{\alpha}{t}\dot{x}(t) +…
A Tikhonov regularized inertial primal\mbox{-}dual dynamical system with time scaling and vanishing damping is proposed for solving a linearly constrained convex optimization problem in Hilbert spaces. The system under consideration…
Higher-order tensor methods were recently proposed for minimizing smooth convex and nonconvex functions. Higher-order algorithms accelerate the convergence of the classical first-order methods thanks to the higher-order derivatives used in…
In a real Hilbert space, we consider two classical problems: the global minimization of a smooth and convex function $f$ (i.e., a convex optimization problem) and finding the zeros of a monotone and continuous operator $V$ (i.e., a monotone…
We introduce and investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the trajectories of a second order dynamical system with Tikhonov regularization for solving a monotone equation with single valued, monotone and continuous operator acting on a real…
Exploiting higher-order derivatives in convex optimization is known at least since 1970's. In each iteration higher-order (also called tensor) methods minimize a regularized Taylor expansion of the objective function, which leads to faster…
In order to minimize a differentiable geodesically convex function, we study a second-order dynamical system on Riemannian manifolds with an asymptotically vanishing damping term of the form $\alpha/t$. For positive values of $\alpha$,…
In this paper, in the setting of Hilbert spaces, we consider a Tikhonov regularized second-order plus first-order primal-dual dynamical system with asymptotically vanishing damping for a linear equality constrained convex optimization…
In this work, we approach the problem of finding the zeros of a continuous and monotone operator through a second-order dynamical system with a damping term of the form $1/t^{r}$, where $r\in [0, 1]$. The system features the time derivative…
We consider gradient flow/gradient descent and heavy ball/accelerated gradient descent optimization for convex objective functions. In the gradient flow case, we prove the following: 1. If $f$ does not have a minimizer, the convergence…
In this paper convex optimization techniques are employed for convex optimization problems in infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. A first order optimality condition is given. Let $f : \mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ and let $x\in…
In this paper, we introduce faster accelerated primal-dual algorithms for minimizing a convex function subject to strongly convex function constraints. Prior to our work, the best complexity bound was $\mathcal{O}(1/{\varepsilon})$,…
We study global optimization of non-convex functions through optimal control theory. Our main result establishes that (quasi-)optimal trajectories of a discounted control problem converge globally and practically asymptotically to the set…
We exploit analogies between first-order algorithms for constrained optimization and non-smooth dynamical systems to design a new class of accelerated first-order algorithms for constrained optimization. Unlike Frank-Wolfe or projected…
Motivated by recent work of Renegar, we present new computational methods and associated computational guarantees for solving convex optimization problems using first-order methods. Our problem of interest is the general convex optimization…
This paper considers the analysis of continuous time gradient-based optimization algorithms through the lens of nonlinear contraction theory. It demonstrates that in the case of a time-invariant objective, most elementary results on…
In a Hilbert space, we provide a fast dynamic approach to the hierarchical minimization problem which consists in finding the minimum norm solution of a convex minimization problem. For this, we study the convergence properties of the…
This paper presents a framework to solve constrained optimization problems in an accelerated manner based on High-Order Tuners (HT). Our approach is based on reformulating the original constrained problem as the unconstrained optimization…
We consider a stochastic version of the proximal point algorithm for optimization problems posed on a Hilbert space. A typical application of this is supervised learning. While the method is not new, it has not been extensively analyzed in…
