Most recently, He and Yuan [arXiv:2108.08554, 2021] have proposed a balanced augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) for the canonical convex programming problem with linear constraints, which advances the original ALM by balancing its…

The augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) is a classical optimization tool that solves a given "difficult" (constrained) problem via finding solutions of a sequence of "easier"(often unconstrained) sub-problems with respect to the original…

We propose a semismooth Newton-based augmented Lagrangian framework for reconstructing sparse sources in inverse acoustic scattering problems. Rather than working in the unknown source space, our semismooth Newton updates operate in the…

Augmented Lagrangian Methods (ALMs) are widely employed in solving constrained optimizations, and some efficient solvers are developed based on this framework. Under the quadratic growth assumption, it is known that the dual iterates and…

In this paper, we revisit the augmented Lagrangian method for a class of nonsmooth convex optimization. We present the Lagrange optimality system of the augmented Lagrangian associated with the problems, and establish its connections with…

In this paper, we present an efficient semismooth Newton method, named SSNCP, for solving a class of semidefinite programming problems. Our approach is rooted in an equivalent semismooth system derived from the saddle point problem induced…

Local convergence analysis of the augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) is established for a large class of composite optimization problems with nonunique Lagrange multipliers under a second-order sufficient condition. We present a new…

We derive an explicit formula, as well as an efficient procedure, for constructing a generalized Jacobian for the projector of a given square matrix onto the Birkhoff polytope, i.e., the set of doubly stochastic matrices. To guarantee the…

Feature selection is an important and active research area in statistics and machine learning. The Elastic Net is often used to perform selection when the features present non-negligible collinearity or practitioners wish to incorporate…

The paper proposes and develops new globally convergent algorithms of the generalized damped Newton type for solving important classes of nonsmooth optimization problems. These algorithms are based on the theory and calculations of…

Doubly nonnegative (DNN) programming problems are known to be challenging to solve because of their huge number of $\Omega(n^2)$ constraints and $\Omega(n^2)$ variables. In this work, we introduce RNNAL, a method for solving DNN relaxations…

In this paper, we present a two-phase augmented Lagrangian method, called QSDPNAL, for solving convex quadratic semidefinite programming (QSDP) problems with constraints consisting of a large number of linear equality, inequality…

This paper addresses a class of general nonsmooth and nonconvex composite optimization problems subject to nonlinear equality constraints. We assume that a part of the objective function and the functional constraints exhibit local…

The augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) is a benchmark for convex programming problems with linear constraints; ALM and its variants for linearly equality-constrained convex minimization models have been well studied in the literature.…

A stochastic linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem with a pointwise linear equality constraint on the terminal state is considered. A strong Lagrangian duality theorem is proved under a uniform convexity condition on the cost…

Augmented Lagrangian Method (ALM) combined with Burer-Monteiro (BM) factorization, dubbed ALM-BM, offers a powerful approach for solving large-scale low-rank semidefinite programs (SDPs). Despite its empirical success, the theoretical…

We introduce Newton-ADMM, a method for fast conic optimization. The basic idea is to view the residuals of consecutive iterates generated by the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) as a set of fixed point equations, and then…

In a recent work (arXiv-DOI: 1804.08072v1) we introduced the Modified Augmented Lagrangian Method (MALM) for the efficient minimization of objective functions with large quadratic penalty terms. From MALM there results an optimality…

In this paper, we propose an inexact Augmented Lagrangian Method (ALM) for the optimization of convex and nonsmooth objective functions subject to linear equality constraints and box constraints where errors are due to fixed-point data. To…

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…
