In this paper we provide a rate of convergence for periodic homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations with nonlocal diffusion. The result is based on the regularity of the associated effective problem, where the convexity plays a…

Model averaging has gained significant attention in recent years due to its ability of fusing information from different models. The critical challenge in frequentist model averaging is the choice of weight vector. The bootstrap method,…

In this paper, we study the convergence properties of an algorithm that can be viewed as an interpolation between two gradient based optimization methods, Nesterov's acceleration method for strongly convex functions $(NAG$-$SC)$ and…

A number of optimization approaches have been proposed for optimizing nonconvex objectives (e.g. deep learning models), such as batch gradient descent, stochastic gradient descent and stochastic variance reduced gradient descent. Theory…

Convex optimization encompasses a wide range of optimization problems that contain many efficiently solvable subclasses. Interior point methods are currently the state-of-the-art approach for solving such problems, particularly effective…

In this work, we investigate a second-order dynamical system with Hessian-driven damping tailored for a class of nonconvex functions called strongly quasiconvex. Buil\-ding upon this continuous-time model, we derive two discrete-time…

Many problems in machine learning and game theory can be formulated as saddle-point problems, for which various first-order methods have been developed and proven efficient in practice. Under the general convex-concave assumption, most…

Combined optimization problems that couple data-fidelity and regularization terms arise naturally in a wide range of inverse problems. In this paper, we study an adaptive randomized averaging block extended Bregman-Kaczmarz (aRABEBK) method…

We prove optimal regularity for the double obstacle problem when obstacles are given by solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi equations that are not $C^2$. When the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is not $C^2$ then the standard Bernstein technique fails…

We consider an optimization problem with strongly convex objective and linear inequalities constraints. To be able to deal with a large number of constraints we provide a penalty reformulation of the problem. As penalty functions we use a…

Although adaptive optimization algorithms have been successful in many applications, there are still some mysteries in terms of convergence analysis that have not been unraveled. This paper provides a novel non-convex analysis of adaptive…

The generalized alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) of Xiao et al. [{\tt Math. Prog. Comput., 2018}] aims at the two-block linearly constrained composite convex programming problem, in which each block is in the form of…

We propose the stochastic average gradient (SAG) method for optimizing the sum of a finite number of smooth convex functions. Like stochastic gradient (SG) methods, the SAG method's iteration cost is independent of the number of terms in…

In this paper, we demonstrate a polynomial convergence rate for homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi equations with quasi-periodic potentials. We establish a connection between the convergence rate of homogenization and the regularity of the…

The Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) method has been recognized as a powerful sampling tool in computational statistics. We show that performance of HMC can be significantly improved by incorporating importance sampling and an irreversible…

Quasi-periodic responses composed of multiple base frequencies widely exist in science and engineering problems. The multiple harmonic balance (MHB) method is one of the most commonly used approaches for such problems. However, it is…

Combining several techniques, we propose an efficient and numerically reliable method to perform the quantum number projection and configuration mixing for most general mean-field states, i.e., the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) type product…

A framework is developed for applying accelerated methods to general hyperbolic programming, including linear, second-order cone, and semidefinite programming as special cases. The approach replaces a hyperbolic program with a convex…

In this paper we study several classes of stochastic optimization algorithms enriched with heavy ball momentum. Among the methods studied are: stochastic gradient descent, stochastic Newton, stochastic proximal point and stochastic dual…

In this paper we propose a fast optimization algorithm for approximately minimizing convex quadratic functions over the intersection of affine and separable constraints (i.e., the Cartesian product of possibly nonconvex real sets). This…
