Recently the away-step Frank-Wolfe algoritm for constrained multiobjective optimization has been shown linear convergence rate over a polytope which is generated by finite points set. In this paper we design a decomposition-invariant…
We present a general technique for the analysis of first-order methods. The technique relies on the construction of a duality gap for an appropriate approximation of the objective function, where the function approximation improves as the…
The minimum volume enclosing ellipsoid (MVEE) problem is an optimization problem in the basis of many practical problems. This paper describes some new properties of this model and proposes a first-order oracle algorithm, the Adjusted…
We introduce a numerical framework to verify the finite step convergence of first-order methods for parametric convex quadratic optimization. We formulate the verification problem as a mathematical optimization problem where we maximize a…
A broad class of convex optimization problems can be formulated as a semidefinite program (SDP), minimization of a convex function over the positive-semidefinite cone subject to some affine constraints. The majority of classical SDP solvers…
In recent years it was proved that simple modifications of the classical Frank-Wolfe algorithm (aka conditional gradient algorithm) for smooth convex minimization over convex and compact polytopes, converge with linear rate, assuming the…
The paper introduces a new adaptive version of the Frank-Wolfe algorithm for relatively smooth convex functions. It is proposed to use the Bregman divergence other than half the square of the Euclidean norm in the formula for step-size.…
Primal-dual algorithm (PDA) is a classic and popular scheme for convex-concave saddle point problems. It is universally acknowledged that the proximal terms in the subproblems about the primal and dual variables are crucial to the…
This paper considers a general class of iterative optimization algorithms, referred to as linear-optimization-based convex programming (LCP) methods, for solving large-scale convex programming (CP) problems. The LCP methods, covering the…
An extension of the Frank-Wolfe Algorithm (FWA), also known as Conditional Gradient algorithm, is proposed. In its standard form, the FWA allows to solve constrained optimization problems involving $\beta$-smooth cost functions, calling at…
This paper investigates projection-free algorithms for stochastic constrained multi-level optimization. In this context, the objective function is a nested composition of several smooth functions, and the decision set is closed and convex.…
This paper presents an alternate choice of computing the convex hulls (CHs) for planar point sets. We firstly discard the interior points and then sort the remaining vertices by x- / y- coordinates separately, and later create a group…
Decentralized optimization algorithms have received much attention due to the recent advances in network information processing. However, conventional decentralized algorithms based on projected gradient descent are incapable of handling…
Many applications using large datasets require efficient methods for minimizing a proximable convex function subject to satisfying a set of linear constraints within a specified tolerance. For this task, we present a proximal projection…
On solving a convex-concave bilinear saddle-point problem (SPP), there have been many works studying the complexity results of first-order methods. These results are all about upper complexity bounds, which can determine at most how many…
We propose the pivoting meta algorithm (PM) to enhance optimization algorithms that generate iterates as convex combinations of vertices of a feasible region $C\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, including Frank-Wolfe (FW) variants. PM guarantees that…
In random allocation rules, typically first an optimal fractional point is calculated via solving a linear program. The calculated point represents a fractional assignment of objects or more generally packages of objects to agents. In order…
We prove that the block-coordinate Frank-Wolfe (BCFW) algorithm converges with state-of-the-art rates in both convex and nonconvex settings under a very mild "block-iterative" assumption. This appears to be the first result on BCFW…
Some variant of the Frank-Wolfe method for convex optimization problems with adaptive selection of the step parameter corresponding to information about the smoothness of the objective function (the Lipschitz constant of the gradient).…
In the rank-constrained optimization problem (RCOP), it minimizes a linear objective function over a prespecified closed rank-constrained domain set and $m$ generic two-sided linear matrix inequalities. Motivated by the Dantzig-Wolfe (DW)…
