In a recent joint work, the author has developed a modification of Newton's method, named New Q-Newton's method, which can avoid saddle points and has quadratic rate of convergence. While good theoretical convergence guarantee has not been…

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…

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…

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, we give explicit descriptions of versions of (Local-) Backtracking Gradient Descent and New Q-Newton's method to the Riemannian setting.Here are some easy to state consequences of results in this paper, where X is a general…

This paper studied the problem of solving the system of nonlinear equations ${\bf F}({\bf x})={\bf 0}$, where ${\bf F}:{\mathbb R}^{d}\to{\mathbb R}^d$. We propose Gram-Reduced Levenberg--Marquardt method which updates the Gram matrix ${\bf…

We introduce a framework for quasi-Newton forward--backward splitting algorithms (proximal quasi-Newton methods) with a metric induced by diagonal $\pm$ rank-$r$ symmetric positive definite matrices. This special type of metric allows for a…

A q-Levenberg-Marquardt method is an iterative procedure that blends a q-steepest descent and q-Gauss-Newton methods. When the current solution is far from the correct one the algorithm acts as the q-steepest descent method. Otherwise the…

In this paper, we research more in depth properties of Backtracking New Q-Newton's method (recently designed by the third author), when used to find roots of meromorphic functions. If $f=P/Q$, where $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials in 1 complex…

We introduce an inertial quasi-Newton Forward-Backward Splitting Algorithm to solve a class of monotone inclusion problems. While the inertial step is computationally cheap, in general, the bottleneck is the evaluation of the resolvent…

We propose a Forward-Backward Truncated-Newton method (FBTN) for minimizing the sum of two convex functions, one of which smooth. Unlike other proximal Newton methods, our approach does not involve the employment of variable metrics, but is…

We introduce a forward-backward-forward (FBF) algorithm for solving bilevel equilibrium problem associated with bifunctions on a real Hilbert space. This modifies the forward-backward algorithm by relaxing cocoercivity with monotone and…

A central challenge to many fields of science and engineering involves minimizing non-convex error functions over continuous, high dimensional spaces. Gradient descent or quasi-Newton methods are almost ubiquitously used to perform such…

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…

This paper extends the SQP-approach of the well-known bundle-Newton method for nonsmooth unconstrained minimization to the nonlinearly constrained case. Instead of using a penalty function or a filter or an improvement function to deal with…

A new variant of Newton's method - named Backtracking New Q-Newton's method (BNQN) - was recently introduced by the second author. This method has good global convergence guarantees, specially concerning finding roots of meromorphic…

This paper proposes a new second-order symmetric algorithm for solving decoupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations. Inspired by the alternating direction implicit splitting method for partial differential equations, we…

We explore the usage of the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm for regression (non-linear least squares) and classification (generalized Gauss-Newton methods) tasks in neural networks. We compare the performance of the LM method with other…

A central challenge to many fields of science and engineering involves minimizing non-convex error functions over continuous, high dimensional spaces. Gradient descent or quasi-Newton methods are almost ubiquitously used to perform such…

Variational inequalities represent a broad class of problems, including minimization and min-max problems, commonly found in machine learning. Existing second-order and high-order methods for variational inequalities require precise…
