Functional constrained optimization is becoming more and more important in machine learning and operations research. Such problems have potential applications in risk-averse machine learning, semisupervised learning, and robust optimization…

Second-order methods for convex optimization outperform first-order methods in terms of theoretical iteration convergence, achieving rates up to $O(k^{-5})$ for highly-smooth functions. However, their practical performance and applications…

Gradient methods are widely used in optimization problems. In practice, while the smoothness parameter can be estimated utilizing techniques such as backtracking, estimating the strong convexity parameter remains a challenge; moreover, even…

This paper is devoted to the investigation of inertial dynamical systems with implicit Hessian-driven damping for strongly quasiconvex optimization which is a specific class of nonconvex optimization problems. We first establish exponential…

This paper deals with a new Tikhonov regularized primal-dual dynamical system with variable mass and Hessian-driven damping for solving a convex optimization problem with linear equality constraints. The system features several…

Randomized-subspace methods reduce the cost of first-order optimization by using only low-dimensional projected-gradient information, a feature that is attractive in forward-mode automatic differentiation and communication-limited settings.…

We provide new adaptive first-order methods for constrained convex optimization. Our main algorithms AdaACSA and AdaAGD+ are accelerated methods, which are universal in the sense that they achieve nearly-optimal convergence rates for both…

In this paper a robust second-order method is developed for the solution of strongly convex l1-regularized problems. The main aim is to make the proposed method as inexpensive as possible, while even difficult problems can be efficiently…

Optimization is at the heart of machine learning, statistics and many applied scientific disciplines. It also has a long history in physics, ranging from the minimal action principle to finding ground states of disordered systems such as…

We analyze the convergence rate of a family of inertial algorithms, which can be obtained by discretization of an inertial system with Hessian-driven damping. We recover a convergence rate, up to a factor of 2 speedup upon Nesterov's…

We study distributed optimization problems when $N$ nodes minimize the sum of their individual costs subject to a common vector variable. The costs are convex, have Lipschitz continuous gradient (with constant $L$), and bounded gradient. We…

We revisit the Ravine method of Gelfand and Tsetlin from a dynamical system perspective, study its convergence properties, and highlight its similarities and differences with the Nesterov accelerated gradient method. The two methods are…

We propose a globally-accelerated, first-order method for the optimization of smooth and (strongly or not) geodesically-convex functions in a wide class of Hadamard manifolds. We achieve the same convergence rates as Nesterov's accelerated…

Motivated by an inertial primal-dual dynamical system with vanishing damping, we propose a class of accelerated augmented Lagrangian methods with Nesterov extrapolation parameters for a linearly constrained convex optimization problem with…

We consider the setting where the nodes of an undirected, connected network collaborate to solve a shared objective modeled as the sum of smooth functions. We assume that each summand is privately known by a unique node. NEAR-DGD is a…

Ever since the original algorithm by Nesterov (1983), the true nature of the acceleration phenomenon has remained elusive, with various interpretations of why the method is actually faster. The diagnosis of the algorithm through the lens of…

Invex programs are a special kind of non-convex problems which attain global minima at every stationary point. While classical first-order gradient descent methods can solve them, they converge very slowly. In this paper, we propose new…

In this paper we develop accelerated first-order methods for convex optimization with locally Lipschitz continuous gradient (LLCG), which is beyond the well-studied class of convex optimization with Lipschitz continuous gradient. In…

In this paper, acceleration of gradient methods for convex optimization problems with weak levels of convexity and smoothness is considered. Starting from the universal fast gradient method which was designed to be an optimal method for…

First-order optimization methods are crucial for solving large-scale data processing problems, particularly those involving convex non-smooth composite objectives. For such problems with convex non-smooth composite objectives, we introduce…
