This paper describes an extension of the BFGS and L-BFGS methods for the minimization of a nonlinear function subject to errors. This work is motivated by applications that contain computational noise, employ low-precision arithmetic, or…

The classical convergence analysis of quasi-Newton methods assumes that the function and gradients employed at each iteration are exact. In this paper, we consider the case when there are (bounded) errors in both computations and establish…

We present a modified limited memory BFGS method with displacement aggregation (AggMBFGS) for solving nonconvex optimization problems. AggMBFGS refines curvature pair updates by removing linearly dependent variable variations, ensuring that…

This paper presents and investigates an inexact proximal gradient method for solving composite convex optimization problems characterized by an objective function composed of a sum of a full-domain differentiable convex function and a…

In this paper, we present a global complexity analysis of the classical BFGS method with inexact line search, as applied to minimizing a strongly convex function with Lipschitz continuous gradient and Hessian. We consider a variety of…

We propose a modified BFGS algorithm for multiobjective optimization problems with global convergence, even in the absence of convexity assumptions on the objective functions. Furthermore, we establish the superlinear convergence of the…

We extend the well-known BFGS quasi-Newton method and its memory-limited variant LBFGS to the optimization of nonsmooth convex objectives. This is done in a rigorous fashion by generalizing three components of BFGS to subdifferentials: the…

In this paper, a modified BFGS algorithm is proposed. The modified BFGS matrix estimates a modified Hessian matrix which is a convex combination of an identity matrix for the steepest descent algorithm and a Hessian matrix for the Newton…

For deterministic optimization, line-search methods augment algorithms by providing stability and improved efficiency. We adapt a classical backtracking Armijo line-search to the stochastic optimization setting. While traditional…

In this paper, we present the first explicit and non-asymptotic global convergence rates of the BFGS method when implemented with an inexact line search scheme satisfying the Armijo-Wolfe conditions. We show that BFGS achieves a global…

The limited memory BFGS (L-BFGS) method is one of the popular methods for solving large-scale unconstrained optimization. Since the standard L-BFGS method uses a line search to guarantee its global convergence, it sometimes requires a large…

The limited memory BFGS (L-BFGS) method is widely used for large-scale unconstrained optimization, but its behavior on nonsmooth problems has received little attention. L-BFGS can be used with or without "scaling"; the use of scaling is…

Backtracking line search is foundational in numerical optimization. The basic idea is to adjust the step-size of an algorithm by a constant factor until some chosen criterion (e.g. Armijo, Descent Lemma) is satisfied. We propose a novel way…

This paper presents a new generalized Armijo's line-search method, and combines it with a phi-regulation defined to obtain a new algorithm solving the very general non-linear non-smooth convex programming. For the algorithm designed, the…

The Conditional Gradient Method is generalized to a class of non-smooth non-convex optimization problems with many applications in machine learning. The proposed algorithm iterates by minimizing so-called model functions over the constraint…

We introduce a quasi-Newton method with block updates called Block BFGS. We show that this method, performed with inexact Armijo-Wolfe line searches, converges globally and superlinearly under the same convexity assumptions as BFGS. We also…

It has long been known that the gradient (steepest descent) method may fail on nonsmooth problems, but the examples that have appeared in the literature are either devised specifically to defeat a gradient or subgradient method with an…

This paper studies the numerical solution of strictly convex unconstrained optimization problems by linesearch Newton-CG methods. We focus on methods employing inexact evaluations of the objective function and inexact and possibly random…

In this paper, we explore the non-asymptotic global convergence rates of the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) method implemented with exact line search. Notably, due to Dixon's equivalence result, our findings are also applicable to…

In this paper, we propose a method that has foundations in the line search sequential quadratic programming paradigm for solving general nonlinear equality constrained optimization problems. The method employs a carefully designed modified…
