The conjugate gradient method is a widely used algorithm for the numerical solution of a system of linear equations. It is particularly attractive because it allows one to take advantage of sparse matrices and produces (in case of infinite…

In this work we study a constrained monotone inclusion involving the normal cone to a closed vector subspace and a priori information on primal solutions. We model this information by imposing that solutions belongs to the fixed point set…

Conjugate gradient is an efficient algorithm for solving large sparse linear systems. It has been utilized to accelerate the computation in Bayesian analysis for many large-scale problems. This article discusses the applications of…

Quantum relative entropies are jointly convex functions of two positive definite matrices that generalize the Kullback-Leibler divergence and arise naturally in quantum information theory. In this paper, we prove self-concordance of natural…

Spectral functions on Euclidean Jordan algebras arise frequently in convex models. Despite the success of primal-dual conic interior point solvers, there has been little work on enabling direct support for spectral cones, i.e. proper…

We present an iterative algorithm for computing an invariant subspace associated with the algebraically smallest eigenvalues of a large sparse or structured Hermitian matrix A. We are interested in the case in which the dimension of the…

Barrier functions are crucial for maintaining an intersection and inversion free simulation trajectory but existing methods which directly use distance can restrict implementation design and performance. We present an approach to rewriting…

A closed convex subset of a normed linear space is said to have the strong separation property if it can be strongly separated from every other disjoint closed and convex set by a closed hyperplane. In this paper we give some results on the…

A convex cone is homogeneous if its automorphism group acts transitively on the interior of the cone, i.e., for every pair of points in the interior of the cone, there exists a cone automorphism that maps one point to the other. Cones that…

We consider structured minimization problems subject to smooth inequality constraints and present a flexible algorithm that combines interior point (IP) and proximal gradient schemes. While traditional IP methods cannot cope with nonsmooth…

We provide an interior point method based on quasi-Newton iterations, which only requires first-order access to a strongly self-concordant barrier function. To achieve this, we extend the techniques of Dunagan-Harvey [STOC '07] to maintain…

We present here necessary and sufficient conditions for the invertibility of circulant and symmetric matrices that depend on three parameters and moreover, we explicitly compute the inverse. The techniques we use are related with the…

Interior-point methods offer a highly versatile framework for convex optimization that is effective in theory and practice. A key notion in their theory is that of a self-concordant barrier. We give a suitable generalization of…

We use the concept of barrier-based smoothing approximations introduced in [ C. B. Chua and Z. Li, A barrier-based smoothing proximal point algorithm for NCPs over closed convex cones, SIOPT 23(2), 2010] to extend the non-interior…

A large number matrix optimization problems are described by orthogonally invariant norms. This paper is devoted to the study of variational analysis of the orthogonally invariant norm cone of symmetric matrices. For a general orthogonally…

We develop optimization methods which offer new trade-offs between the number of gradient and Hessian computations needed to compute the critical point of a non-convex function. We provide a method that for any twice-differentiable $f\colon…

This paper introduces an efficient algorithm for computing the best approximation of a given matrix onto the intersection of linear equalities, inequalities and the doubly nonnegative cone (the cone of all positive semidefinite matrices…

This paper focuses on developing a conditional gradient algorithm for multiobjective optimization problems with an unbounded feasible region. We employ the concept of recession cone to establish the well-defined nature of the algorithm. The…

Barrier methods play a central role in the theory and practice of convex optimization. One of the most general and successful analyses of barrier methods for convex optimization, due to Nesterov and Nemirovskii, relies on the notion of…

We give several algorithms addressing computations of intersections of conjugate subgroups.
