Inspired by regularization techniques in statistics and machine learning, we study complementary composite minimization in the stochastic setting. This problem corresponds to the minimization of the sum of a (weakly) smooth function endowed…
In this paper, we consider solving a class of nonconvex and nonsmooth problems frequently appearing in signal processing and machine learning research. The traditional alternating direction method of multipliers encounters troubles in both…
This paper is concerned with $\ell_q\,(0<q<1)$-norm regularized minimization problems with a twice continuously differentiable loss function. For this class of nonconvex and nonsmooth composite problems, many algorithms have been proposed…
The iteratively reweighted l1 algorithm is a widely used method for solving various regularization problems, which generally minimize a differentiable loss function combined with a nonconvex regularizer to induce sparsity in the solution.…
Quadratically regularized optimal transport (QOT) is an alternative to entropic regularization that yields sparse couplings and avoids numerical instabilities due to exponential scaling. From an optimization viewpoint, the dual QOT…
We consider the dynamical system \begin{equation*}\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} v(t)\in\partial\phi(x(t))\\ \lambda\dot x(t) + \dot v(t) + v(t) + \nabla \psi(x(t))=0, \end{array}\right.\end{equation*} where $\phi:\R^n\to\R\cup\{+\infty\}$ is a…
This paper considers the optimization problem of the form $\min_{{\bf x}\in{\mathbb R}^d} f({\bf x})\triangleq \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n f_i({\bf x})$, where $f(\cdot)$ satisfies the Polyak--{\L}ojasiewicz (PL) condition with parameter $\mu$…
We investigate two inertial forward-backward algorithms in connection with the minimization of the sum of a non-smooth and possibly non-convex and a non-convex differentiable function. The algorithms are formulated in the spirit of the…
Random reshuffling techniques are prevalent in large-scale applications, such as training neural networks. While the convergence and acceleration effects of random reshuffling-type methods are fairly well understood in the smooth setting,…
We develop and analyze an inexact regularized alternating projection method for nonconvex feasibility problems. Such a method employs inexact projections on one of the two sets, according to a set of well-defined conditions. We prove the…
This paper shows that error bounds can be used as effective tools for deriving complexity results for first-order descent methods in convex minimization. In a first stage, this objective led us to revisit the interplay between error bounds…
In this paper, a class of optimization problems with nonlinear inequality constraints is discussed. Based on the ideas of sequential quadratic programming algorithm and the method of strongly sub-feasible directions, a new superlinearly…
We prove a general quantitative theorem on the asymptotic behavior of stochastic quasi-Fej\'er monotone sequences in a broad metric context. Concretely, our result explicitly constructs a rate of convergence for such process, both in mean…
In this paper we develop a higher-order method for solving composite (non)convex minimization problems with smooth (non)convex functional constraints. At each iteration our method approximates the smooth part of the objective function and…
We consider regularization of non-convex optimization problems involving a non-linear least-squares objective. By adding an auxiliary set of variables, we introduce a novel regularization framework whose corresponding objective function is…
For a class of sparse optimization problems with the penalty function of $\|(\cdot)_+\|_0$, we first characterize its local minimizers and then propose an extrapolated hard thresholding algorithm to solve such problems. We show that the…
Alternating projection method has been used in a wide range of engineering applications since it is a gradient-free method (without requiring tuning the step size) and usually has fast speed of convergence. In this paper, we formalize two…
Measuring how quickly iterative methods converge is essential in computational mathematics, but current approaches have significant limitations. Q-order analysis requires strict smoothness conditions, while R-order analysis lacks precision…
We present a globally convergent SQP-type method with the least constraint violation for nonlinear semidefinite programming. The proposed algorithm employs a two-phase strategy coupled with a line search technique. In the first phase, a…
We consider the extragradient method to minimize the sum of two functions, the first one being smooth and the second being convex. Under the Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz assumption, we prove that the sequence produced by the extragradient method…
