This paper studies how to train machine-learning models that directly approximate the optimal solutions of constrained optimization problems. This is an empirical risk minimization under constraints, which is challenging as training must…

This work is concerned with the optimization of nonconvex, nonsmooth composite optimization problems, whose objective is a composition of a nonlinear mapping and a nonsmooth nonconvex function, that can be written as an infimal convolution…

In this work, we revisit a classical incremental implementation of the primal-descent dual-ascent gradient method used for the solution of equality constrained optimization problems. We provide a short proof that establishes the linear…

Random projection algorithm is an iterative gradient method with random projections. Such an algorithm is of interest for constrained optimization when the constraint set is not known in advance or the projection operation on the whole…

Various first order approaches have been proposed in the literature to solve Linear Programming (LP) problems, recently leading to practically efficient solvers for large-scale LPs. From a theoretical perspective, linear convergence rates…

In this paper, we consider the dual formulation of minimizing $\sum_{i\in I}f_i(x_i)+\sum_{j\in J} g_j(\mathcal{A}_jx)$ with the index sets $I$ and $J$ being large. To address the difficulties from the high dimension of the variable $x$…

We present a convex cone program to infer the latent probability matrix of a random dot product graph (RDPG). The optimization problem maximizes the Bernoulli maximum likelihood function with an added nuclear norm regularization term. The…

This work considers the problem of sampling from a probability distribution known up to a normalization constant while satisfying a set of statistical constraints specified by the expected values of general nonlinear functions. This problem…

This technical note documents the implementation and use of the Primal-Dual Conic Programming Solver (PDCS), a first-order solver for large-scale conic optimization problems introduced by Lin et al. (arXiv:2505.00311). It describes the…

In this paper, we propose a novel primal-dual inexact gradient projection method for nonlinear optimization problems with convex-set constraint. This method only needs inexact computation of the projections onto the convex set for each…

Primal-dual methods in online optimization give several of the state-of-the art results in both of the most common models: adversarial and stochastic/random order. Here we try to provide a more unified analysis of primal-dual algorithms to…

The proximal generalized alternating direction method of multipliers (p-GADMM) is substantially efficient for solving convex composite programming problems of high-dimensional to moderate accuracy. The global convergence of this method was…

This paper derives a discrete dual problem for a prototypical hybrid high-order method for convex minimization problems. The discrete primal and dual problem satisfy a weak convex duality that leads to a priori error estimates with…

This paper proposes distributed algorithms to solve robust convex optimization (RCO) when the constraints are affected by nonlinear uncertainty. We adopt a scenario approach by randomly sampling the uncertainty set. To facilitate the…

In this paper, we consider optimizing a smooth, convex, lower semicontinuous function in Riemannian space with constraints. To solve the problem, we first convert it to a dual problem and then propose a general primal-dual algorithm to…

The Primal-Dual (PD) algorithm is widely used in convex optimization to determine saddle points. While the stability of the PD algorithm can be easily guaranteed, strict contraction is nontrivial to establish in most cases. This work…
