Motivated by the training of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), we study methods for solving minimax problems with additional nonsmooth regularizers. We do so by employing \emph{monotone operator} theory, in particular the…
This paper describes a new efficient conjugate subgradient algorithm which minimizes a convex function containing a least squares fidelity term and an absolute value regularization term. This method is successfully applied to the inversion…
Projection-free conditional gradient (CG) methods are the algorithms of choice for constrained optimization setups in which projections are often computationally prohibitive but linear optimization over the constraint set remains…
In this paper, we introduce a stochastic projected subgradient method for weakly convex (i.e., uniformly prox-regular) nonsmooth, nonconvex functions---a wide class of functions which includes the additive and convex composite classes. At a…
Composite optimization offers a powerful modeling tool for a variety of applications and is often numerically solved by means of proximal gradient methods. In this paper, we consider fully nonconvex composite problems under only local…
In this paper, a globally convergent Newton-type proximal gradient method is developed for composite multi-objective optimization problems where each objective function can be represented as the sum of a smooth function and a nonsmooth…
Recently there is a large amount of work devoted to the study of Markov chain stochastic gradient methods (MC-SGMs) which mainly focus on their convergence analysis for solving minimization problems. In this paper, we provide a…
This work considers the nonconvex, nonsmooth problem of minimizing a composite objective of the form $f(g(x))+h(x)$ where the inner mapping $g$ is a smooth finite summation or expectation amenable to variance reduction. In such settings,…
Low-rank matrix estimation is a canonical problem that finds numerous applications in signal processing, machine learning and imaging science. A popular approach in practice is to factorize the matrix into two compact low-rank factors, and…
This paper presents a unified analysis for the proximal subgradient method (Prox-SubGrad) type approach to minimize an overall objective of $f(x)+r(x)$, subject to convex constraints, where both $f$ and $r$ are weakly convex, nonsmooth, and…
Minimizing the sum of a convex function and a composite function appears in various fields. The generalized Levenberg--Marquardt (LM) method, also known as the prox-linear method, has been developed for such optimization problems. The…

The residual cutting (RC) method has been proposed for efficiently solving linear equations obtained from elliptic partial differential equations. Based on the RC, we have introduced the generalized residual cutting (GRC) method, which can…
Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) on a low-rank factorization is commonly employed to speed up matrix problems including matrix completion, subspace tracking, and SDP relaxation. In this paper, we exhibit a step size scheme for SGD on a…
In this paper, we consider a nonconvex optimization problem with nonlinear equality constraints. We assume that both, the objective function and the functional constraints are locally smooth. For solving this problem, we propose a…
In this paper, we propose a globally convergent method for solving constrained nonlinear systems. The method combines an efficient Newton conditional gradient method with a derivative-free and nonmonotone linesearch strategy. The global…
Regularization is a widely recognized technique in mathematical optimization. It can be used to smooth out objective functions, refine the feasible solution set, or prevent overfitting in machine learning models. Due to its simplicity and…
In this paper we propose a distributed dual gradient algorithm for minimizing linearly constrained separable convex problems and analyze its rate of convergence. In particular, we prove that under the assumption of strong convexity and…
We consider the problem of optimizing the sum of a smooth convex function and a non-smooth convex function using proximal-gradient methods, where an error is present in the calculation of the gradient of the smooth term or in the proximity…
Variational regularisation is the primary method for solving inverse problems, and recently there has been considerable work leveraging deeply learned regularisation for enhanced performance. However, few results exist addressing the…
