The proximal bundle method (PBM) is a powerful and widely used approach for minimizing nonsmooth convex functions. However, for smooth objectives, its best-known convergence rate remains suboptimal, and whether PBM can be accelerated…

This paper addresses the problems of minimizing the sum of a quadratic function and a proximal-friendly nonconvex nonsmooth function. While the existing Proximal Dogleg Opportunistic Majorization (PDOM) algorithm for these problems offers…

This paper introduces adaptive Bregman proximal gradient algorithms for solving convex composite minimization problems without relying on global relative smoothness or strong convexity assumptions. Building upon recent advances in adaptive…

We propose BIBPA, a block inertial Bregman proximal algorithm for minimizing the sum of a block relatively smooth function (that is, relatively smooth concerning each block) and block separable nonsmooth nonconvex functions. We prove that…

In this paper we study nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization problems with semi-algebraic data, where the variables vector is split into several blocks of variables. The problem consists of one smooth function of the entire variables vector…

Extrapolation is a well-known technique for solving convex optimization and variational inequalities and recently attracts some attention for non-convex optimization. Several recent works have empirically shown its success in some machine…

This paper proposes a provably convergent multiblock ADMM for nonconvex optimization with nonlinear dynamics constraints, overcoming the divergence issue in classical extensions. We consider a class of optimization problems that arise from…

Stochastic gradient methods for minimizing nonconvex composite objective functions typically rely on the Lipschitz smoothness of the differentiable part, but this assumption fails in many important problem classes like quadratic inverse…

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…

Lipschitz continuity of the gradient mapping of a continuously differentiable function plays a crucial role in designing various optimization algorithms. However, many functions arising in practical applications such as low rank matrix…

Many practical problems involve the recovery of a binary matrix from partial information, which makes the binary matrix completion (BMC) technique received increasing attention in machine learning. In particular, we consider a special case…

Nonnegative matrix factorization has been widely applied in face recognition, text mining, as well as spectral analysis. This paper proposes an alternating proximal gradient method for solving this problem. With a uniformly positive lower…

The Majorization-Minimization (MM) framework is widely used to derive efficient algorithms for specific problems that require the optimization of a cost function (which can be convex or not). It is based on a sequential optimization of a…
