This paper proposes a partially inexact alternating direction method of multipliers for computing approximate solution of a linearly constrained convex optimization problem. This method allows its first subproblem to be solved inexactly…

In this paper, we introduce Apollo, a quasi-Newton method for nonconvex stochastic optimization, which dynamically incorporates the curvature of the loss function by approximating the Hessian via a diagonal matrix. Importantly, the update…

In this paper, we present two novel manifold inexact augmented Lagrangian methods, \textbf{ManIAL} for deterministic settings and \textbf{StoManIAL} for stochastic settings, solving nonsmooth manifold optimization problems. By using the…

The need for fast sparse optimization is emerging, e.g., to deal with large-dimensional data-driven problems and to track time-varying systems. In the framework of linear sparse optimization, the iterative shrinkage-thresholding algorithm…

Consider composite nonconvex optimization problems where the objective function consists of a smooth nonconvex term (with Lipschitz-continuous gradient) and a convex (possibly nonsmooth) term. Existing parameter-free methods for such…

We develop a second order primal-dual method for optimization problems in which the objective function is given by the sum of a strongly convex twice differentiable term and a possibly nondifferentiable convex regularizer. After introducing…

Least-absolute-deviations (LAD) line fitting is robust to outliers but computationally more involved than least squares regression. Although the literature includes linear and near-linear time algorithms for the LAD line fitting problem,…

Alternating structure-adapted proximal (ASAP) gradient algorithm (M. Nikolova and P. Tan, SIAM J Optim, 29:2053-2078, 2019) has drawn much attention due to its efficiency in solving nonconvex nonsmooth optimization problems. However, the…

Mathematical optimization is the workhorse behind several aspects of modern robotics and control. In these applications, the focus is on constrained optimization, and the ability to work on manifolds (such as the classical matrix Lie…

In this paper, we establish for the first time the oracle complexity of a Riemannian inexact augmented Lagrangian (RiAL) method with the classical dual update for solving a class of Riemannian nonsmooth composite problems. By using the…

We propose a new bundle-based augmented Lagrangian framework for solving constrained convex problems. Unlike the classical (inexact) augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) that has a nested double-loop structure, our framework features a…

Composite optimization offers a powerful modeling tool for a variety of applications and is often numerically solved by means of proximal gradient methods. In this paper, we consider fully nonconvex composite problems under only local…

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…

Inference by means of mathematical modeling from a collection of observations remains a crucial tool for scientific discovery and is ubiquitous in application areas such as signal compression, imaging restoration, and supervised machine…

Despite the non-convexity of most modern machine learning parameterizations, Lagrangian duality has become a popular tool for addressing constrained learning problems. We revisit Augmented Lagrangian methods, which aim to mitigate the…

The motivation for this paper stems from the desire to develop an adaptive sampling method for solving constrained optimization problems in which the objective function is stochastic and the constraints are deterministic. The method…

We present a very simple and fast algorithm for the numerical solution of viscoplastic flow problems without prior regularisation. Compared to the widespread alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM / ALG2), the new method features…

Motion planning for manipulators under task space constraints is difficult as it constrains the joint configurations to always lie on an implicitly defined manifold. It is possible to view task constrained motion planning as an optimization…

In this paper, we propose some accelerated methods for solving optimization problems under the condition of relatively smooth and relatively Lipschitz continuous functions with an inexact oracle. We consider the problem of minimizing the…

Motivated by robotic trajectory optimization problems we consider the Augmented Lagrangian approach to constrained optimization. We first propose an alternative augmentation of the Lagrangian to handle the inequality case (not based on…
