We focus on constrained, $L$-smooth, potentially stochastic and nonconvex-nonconcave min-max problems either satisfying $\rho$-cohypomonotonicity or admitting a solution to the $\rho$-weakly Minty Variational Inequality (MVI), where larger…

The optimal power flow (OPF) problem, which plays a central role in operating electrical networks is considered. The problem is nonconvex and is in fact NP hard. Therefore, designing efficient algorithms of practical relevance is crucial,…

This manuscript develops a new framework to analyze and design iterative optimization algorithms built on the notion of Integral Quadratic Constraints (IQC) from robust control theory. IQCs provide sufficient conditions for the stability of…

Second-order Newton-type algorithms that leverage the exact Hessian or its approximation are central to solve nonlinear optimization problems. However, their applications in solving large-scale nonconvex problems are hindered by three…

This paper proposes a homogeneous second-order descent framework (HSODF) for nonconvex and convex optimization based on the generalized homogeneous model (GHM). In comparison to the Newton steps, the GHM can be solved by extremal symmetric…

One of the most common control decisions faced by power system operators is the question of how to dispatch generation to meet demand for power. This is a complex optimization problem that includes many nonlinear, non convex constraints as…

We propose an unconstrained optimization method based on the well-known primal-dual hybrid gradient (PDHG) algorithm. We first formulate the optimality condition of the unconstrained optimization problem as a saddle point problem. We then…

We characterize approximate global optimal solutions (${\varepsilon}$-optima) to reverse optimization problems, namely, problems whose non-convex constraint is of the form $h(x) \geq 0$. This issue has not been addressed previously in the…

This paper presents an inverted-file k-means clustering algorithm (IVF) suitable for a large-scale sparse data set with potentially numerous classes. Given such a data set, IVF efficiently works at high-speed and with low memory…

In this paper, we consider the nonsmooth convex optimization problems over the fixed point constraint sets of firmly nonexpansive operators. To find an optimal solution of the problem, we present an iterative method based on the hybrid…

We study projection-free methods for functional constrained optimization with convex or smooth nonconvex objectives. Such problems arise in applications such as portfolio optimization and radiation therapy planning, where risk-aware…

We study distributed composite optimization over networks: agents minimize a sum of smooth (strongly) convex functions, the agents' sum-utility, plus a nonsmooth (extended-valued) convex one. We propose a general unified algorithmic…

In this paper, we will consider an $hp$-finite elements discretization of a highly indefinite Helmholtz problem by some dG formulation which is based on the ultra-weak variational formulation by Cessenat and Depr\'{e}s. We will introduce an…

We consider minimization of composite functions of the form $f(g(x))+h(x)$, where $f$ and $h$ are convex functions (which can be nonsmooth) and $g$ is a smooth vector mapping. In addition, we assume that $g$ is the average of finite number…

In this paper, we provide conditions under which one can take derivatives of the solution to convex optimization problems with respect to problem data. These conditions are (roughly) that Slater's condition holds, the functions involved are…

Multi-variable nonlinear fuzzy optimization problem is considered under linear order relation on fuzzy numbers. Using gH-differentiability of a fuzzy-valued function $\tilde{f}$, new necessary and sufficient optimality conditions are…

We propose a new class of convex penalty functions, called \emph{variational Gram functions} (VGFs), that can promote pairwise relations, such as orthogonality, among a set of vectors in a vector space. These functions can serve as…

In this paper, we provide a number of subdifferential formulas for a class of nonconvex infimal convolutions in normed spaces. The formulas obtained unify several results on subdifferentials of the distance function and the minimal time…

This paper is devoted to developing and applications of a generalized differential theory of variational analysis that allows us to work in incomplete normed spaces, without employing conventional variational techniques based on…

This paper proposes and analyzes a communication-efficient distributed optimization framework for general nonconvex nonsmooth signal processing and machine learning problems under an asynchronous protocol. At each iteration, worker machines…
