A number of variable selection methods have been proposed involving nonconvex penalty functions. These methods, which include the smoothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD) penalty and the minimax concave penalty (MCP), have been…

We consider minimization problems with structured objective function and smooth constraints, and present a flexible framework that combines the beneficial regularization effects of (exact) penalty and interior-point methods. In the fully…

In this paper we consider a nonconvex optimization problem with nonlinear equality constraints. We assume that both, the objective function and the functional constraints, are locally smooth. For solving this problem, we propose a…

This paper defines a strong convertible nonconvex(SCN) function for solving the unconstrained optimization problems with the nonconvex or nonsmooth(nondifferentiable) function. First, many examples of SCN function are given, where the SCN…

We propose a novel penalty method framework for the non-self-adjoint topology optimization problems, taking compliant mechanism problems as an example, by incorporating a convex nonlocal perimeter approximation scheme. We rigorously analyze…

We consider a class of constrained optimization problems with a possibly nonconvex non-Lipschitz objective and a convex feasible set being the intersection of a polyhedron and a possibly degenerate ellipsoid. Such problems have a wide range…

Sparse approximate solutions to linear equations are classically obtained via L1 norm regularized least squares, but this method often underestimates the true solution. As an alternative to the L1 norm, this paper proposes a class of…

In this work we consider numerical efficiency and convergence rates for solvers of non-convex multi-penalty formulations when reconstructing sparse signals from noisy linear measurements. We extend an existing approach, based on reduction…

In this paper, we consider nonconvex optimization problems with nonlinear equality constraints. We assume that the objective function and the functional constraints are locally smooth. To solve this problem, we introduce a linearized…

This paper provides a theoretical and numerical investigation of a penalty decomposition scheme for the solution of optimization problems with geometric constraints. In particular, we consider some situations where parts of the constraints…

In this paper we study nonconvex penalization using Bernstein functions. Since the Bernstein function is concave and nonsmooth at the origin, it can induce a class of nonconvex functions for high-dimensional sparse estimation problems. We…

We present a method to match three dimensional shapes under non-isometric deformations, topology changes and partiality. We formulate the problem as matching between a set of pair-wise and point-wise descriptors, imposing a continuity prior…

This paper develops a convex approach for sparse one-dimensional deconvolution that improves upon L1-norm regularization, the standard convex approach. We propose a sparsity-inducing non-separable non-convex bivariate penalty function for…

We investigate the use of conformal maps for the acceleration of convergence of the trapezoidal rule and Sinc numerical methods. The conformal map is a polynomial adjustment to the $\sinh$ map, and allows the treatment of a finite number of…

In this paper, an inexact proximal-point penalty method is studied for constrained optimization problems, where the objective function is non-convex, and the constraint functions can also be non-convex. The proposed method approximately…

In the area of sparse recovery, numerous researches hint that non-convex penalties might induce better sparsity than convex ones, but up until now those corresponding non-convex algorithms lack convergence guarantees from the initial…

We propose a new class of nonconvex penalty functions, based on data depth functions, for multitask sparse penalized regression. These penalties quantify the relative position of rows of the coefficient matrix from a fixed distribution…

We investigate moduli of planar circular quadrilaterals symmetric with respect to both the coordinate axes. First we develop an analytic approach which reduces this problem to ODEs and devise a numeric method to find out the accessory…

In this paper, we consider the problem of minimizing a smooth function, given as finite sum of black-box functions, over a convex set. In order to advantageously exploit the structure of the problem, for instance when the terms of the…

In this article we develop a general theory of exact parametric penalty functions for constrained optimization problems. The main advantage of the method of parametric penalty functions is the fact that a parametric penalty function can be…
