We propose in this paper New Q-Newton's method. The update rule is very simple conceptually, for example $x_{n+1}=x_n-w_n$ where $w_n=pr_{A_n,+}(v_n)-pr_{A_n,-}(v_n)$, with $A_n=\nabla ^2f(x_n)+\delta _n||\nabla f(x_n)||^2.Id$ and…

In this paper, by combining the algorithm New Q-Newton's method - developed in previous joint work of the author - with Armijo's Backtracking line search, we resolve convergence issues encountered by Newton's method (e.g. convergence to a…

In this paper we apply the ideas of New Q-Newton's method directly to a system of equations, utilising the specialties of the cost function $f=||F||^2$, where $F=(f_1,\ldots ,f_m)$. The first algorithm proposed here is a modification of…

Machine learning problems such as neural network training, tensor decomposition, and matrix factorization, require local minimization of a nonconvex function. This local minimization is challenged by the presence of saddle points, of which…

A q-Gauss-Newton algorithm is an iterative procedure that solves nonlinear unconstrained optimization problems based on minimization of the sum squared errors of the objective function residuals. Main advantage of the algorithm is that it…

Optimization problems, arise in many practical applications, from the view points of both theory and numerical methods. Especially, significant improvement in deep learning training came from the Quasi-Newton methods. Quasi-Newton search…

Newton's method is a fundamental technique in optimization with quadratic convergence within a neighborhood around the optimum. However reaching this neighborhood is often slow and dominates the computational costs. We exploit two…

Stochastic gradient descent and other first-order variants, such as Adam and AdaGrad, are commonly used in the field of deep learning due to their computational efficiency and low-storage memory requirements. However, these methods do not…

Quasi-Newton methods are widely used for solving convex optimization problems due to their ease of implementation, practical efficiency, and strong local convergence guarantees. However, their global convergence is typically established…

In this paper, we propose a general framework for the algorithm New Q-Newton's method Backtracking, developed in the author's previous work. For a symmetric, square real matrix $A$, we define $minsp(A):=\min _{||e||=1} ||Ae||$. Given a…

Finding roots of equations is at the heart of most computational science. A well-known and widely used iterative algorithm is the Newton's method. However, its convergence depends heavily on the initial guess, with poor choices often…
