This paper investigates the randomized version of the Kaczmarz method to solve linear systems in the case where the adjoint of the system matrix is not exact---a situation we refer to as "mismatched adjoint". We show that the method may…

Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods comprise one of the most successful approaches to approximate Bayesian filtering. However, SMC without good proposal distributions struggle in high dimensions. We propose nested sequential Monte Carlo…

Randomized Kaczmarz methods form a family of linear system solvers which converge by repeatedly projecting their iterates onto randomly sampled equations. While effective in some contexts, such as highly over-determined least squares,…

In this paper, we propose a stochastic optimization method that adaptively controls the sample size used in the computation of gradient approximations. Unlike other variance reduction techniques that either require additional storage or the…

Discretization of non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann Equation equations results in a system of non-linear equations with symmetric Jacobian. The Newton algorithm is the most useful tool for solving non-linear equations. It consists of solving a…

To solve nonlinear problems, we construct two kinds of greedy capped nonlinear Kaczmarz methods by setting a capped threshold and introducing an effective probability criterion for selecting a row of the Jacobian matrix. The capped…

In this paper, we consider nonconvex optimization problems with nonsmooth nonconvex objective function and nonlinear equality constraints. We assume that both the objective function and the functional constraints can be separated into 2…

A determinantal point process (DPP) is an elegant model that assigns a probability to every subset of a collection of $n$ items. While conventionally a DPP is parameterized by a symmetric kernel matrix, removing this symmetry constraint,…

We analyze the coordinate descent method with a new coordinate selection strategy, called volume sampling. This strategy prescribes selecting subsets of variables of certain size proportionally to the determinants of principal submatrices…

This paper is concerned with the low-rank approximation for large-scale nonsymmetric matrices. Inspired by the classical Nystrom method, which is a popular method to find the low-rank approximation for symmetric positive semidefinite…

We present a stochastic setting for optimization problems with nonsmooth convex separable objective functions over linear equality constraints. To solve such problems, we propose a stochastic Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers…

The paper proposes and justifies a new algorithm of the proximal Newton type to solve a broad class of nonsmooth composite convex optimization problems without strong convexity assumptions. Based on advanced notions and techniques of…

This paper deals with the minimization of large sum of convex functions by Inexact Newton (IN) methods employing subsampled functions, gradients and Hessian approximations. The Conjugate Gradient method is used to compute the inexact Newton…

We study the problem of sampling from a target distribution in $\mathbb{R}^d$ whose potential is not smooth. Compared with the sampling problem with smooth potentials, this problem is much less well-understood due to the lack of smoothness.…

The Kaczmarz algorithm is popular for iteratively solving an overdetermined system of linear equations. The traditional Kaczmarz algorithm can approximate the solution in few sweeps through the equations but a randomized version of the…

With the growth of magnitude of multi-agent networks, distributed optimization holds considerable significance within complex systems. Convergence, a pivotal goal in this domain, is contingent upon the analysis of infinite products of…

We give a Markov chain based algorithm for sampling almost uniform solutions of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). Assuming a canonical setting for the Lov\'asz local lemma, where each constraint is violated by a small number of…

With the growth of large data as well as large-scale learning tasks, the need for efficient and robust linear system solvers is greater than ever. The randomized Kaczmarz method (RK) and similar stochastic iterative methods have received…

Large-scale nonconvex and nonsmooth problems have attracted considerable attention in the fields of compress sensing, big data optimization and machine learning. Exploring effective methods is still the main challenge of today's research.…

In view of solving nonsmooth and nonconvex problems involving complex constraints (like standard NLP problems), we study general maximization-minimization procedures produced by families of strongly convex sub-problems. Using techniques…
