This paper studies minimax optimization problems $\min_x \max_y f(x,y)$, where $f(x,y)$ is $m_x$-strongly convex with respect to $x$, $m_y$-strongly concave with respect to $y$ and $(L_x,L_{xy},L_y)$-smooth. Zhang et al. provided the…

We design accelerated algorithms with improved rates for several fundamental classes of optimization problems. Our algorithms all build upon techniques related to the analysis of primal-dual extragradient methods via relative Lipschitzness…

We revisit the smooth convex-concave bilinearly-coupled saddle-point problem of the form $\min_x\max_y f(x) + \langle y,\mathbf{B} x\rangle - g(y)$. In the highly specific case where each of the functions $f(x)$ and $g(y)$ is either affine…

This paper addresses the bilinearly coupled minimax optimization problem: $\min_{x \in \mathbb{R}^{d_x}}\max_{y \in \mathbb{R}^{d_y}} \ f_1(x) + f_2(x) + y^{\top} Bx - g_1(y) - g_2(y)$, where $f_1$ and $g_1$ are smooth convex functions,…

We study the optimal lower and upper complexity bounds for finding approximate solutions to the composite problem $\min_x\ f(x)+h(Ax-b)$, where $f$ is smooth and $h$ is convex. Given access to the proximal operator of $h$, for strongly…

In this paper we study the convex-concave saddle-point problem $\min_x \max_y f(x) + y^T \mathbf{A} x - g(y)$, where $f(x)$ and $g(y)$ are smooth and convex functions. We propose an Accelerated Primal-Dual Gradient Method (APDG) for solving…

This work presents a universal accelerated first-order primal-dual method for affinely constrained convex optimization problems. It can handle both Lipschitz and H\"{o}lder gradients but does not need to know the smoothness level of the…

Nonconvex-nonconcave minimax optimization has gained widespread interest over the last decade. However, most existing works focus on variants of gradient descent-ascent (GDA) algorithms, which are only applicable to smooth nonconvex-concave…

Binary optimization is a powerful tool for modeling combinatorial problems, yet scalable and theoretically sound solution methods remain elusive. Conventional solvers often rely on heuristic strategies with weak guarantees or struggle with…

In this paper, we revisit the smooth and strongly-convex-strongly-concave minimax optimization problem. Zhang et al. (2021) and Ibrahim et al. (2020) established the lower bound $\Omega\left(\sqrt{\kappa_x\kappa_y} \log…

We investigate a primal-dual (PD) method for the saddle point problem (SPP) that uses a linear approximation of the primal function instead of the standard proximal step, resulting in a linearized PD (LPD) method. For convex-strongly…

In this paper, we propose a new decomposition approach named the proximal primal dual algorithm (Prox-PDA) for smooth nonconvex linearly constrained optimization problems. The proposed approach is primal-dual based, where the primal step…

In this paper we propose a class of randomized primal-dual methods to contend with large-scale saddle point problems defined by a convex-concave function $\mathcal{L}(\mathbf{x},y)\triangleq\sum_{i=1}^m f_i(x_i)+\Phi(\mathbf{x},y)-h(y)$. We…

In this paper, we propose a primal-dual algorithm with a novel momentum term using the partial gradients of the coupling function that can be viewed as a generalization of the method proposed by Chambolle and Pock in 2016 to solve saddle…

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…

We propose a primal-dual smoothing framework for finding a near-stationary point of a class of non-smooth non-convex optimization problems with max-structure. We analyze the primal and dual gradient complexities of the framework via two…

We develop primal-dual coordinate methods for solving bilinear saddle-point problems of the form $\min_{x \in \mathcal{X}} \max_{y\in\mathcal{Y}} y^\top A x$ which contain linear programming, classification, and regression as special cases.…

This paper studies bilinear saddle point problems $\min_{\bf{x}} \max_{\bf{y}} g(\bf{x}) + \bf{x}^{\top} \bf{A} \bf{y} - h(\bf{y})$, where the functions $g, h$ are smooth and strongly-convex. When the gradient and proximal oracle related to…

In this paper, we propose a new primal-dual algorithm for minimizing $f(x) + g(x) + h(Ax)$, where $f$, $g$, and $h$ are proper lower semi-continuous convex functions, $f$ is differentiable with a Lipschitz continuous gradient, and $A$ is a…

Using convex combination and linesearch techniques, we introduce a novel primal-dual algorithm for solving structured convex-concave saddle point problems with a generic smooth nonbilinear coupling term. Our adaptive linesearch strategy…
