We introduce and study a geometric modification of the Douglas-Rach\-ford method called the Circumcentered-Douglas-Rachford method. This method iterates by taking the intersection of bisectors of reflection steps for solving certain classes…

This paper deals with an optimization problem over a network of agents, where the cost function is the sum of the individual objectives of the agents and the constraint set is the intersection of local constraints. Most existing methods…

Given a connected undirected weighted graph, we are concerned with problems related to partitioning the graph. First of all we look for the closest disconnected graph (the minimum cut problem), here with respect to the Euclidean norm. We…

We propose a methodology for studying the performance of common splitting methods through semidefinite programming. We prove tightness of the methodology and demonstrate its value by presenting two applications of it. First, we use the…

Motivated by the increasing need for fast processing of large-scale graphs, we study a number of fundamental graph problems in a message-passing model for distributed computing, called $k$-machine model, where we have $k$ machines that…

We present time-efficient distributed algorithms for decomposing graphs with large edge or vertex connectivity into multiple spanning or dominating trees, respectively. As their primary applications, these decompositions allow us to achieve…

In this paper, we consider a class of structured nonconvex nonsmooth optimization problems whose objective function is the sum of three nonconvex functions, one of which is expressed in a difference-of-convex (DC) form. This problem class…

Sampling-based algorithms are classical approaches to perform Bayesian inference in inverse problems. They provide estimators with the associated credibility intervals to quantify the uncertainty on the estimators. Although these methods…

We consider a discrete-time model of continuous-time distributed optimization over dynamic directed-graphs (digraphs) with applications to distributed learning. Our optimization algorithm works over general strongly connected dynamic…

We introduce the Projected Push-Pull algorithm that enables multiple agents to solve a distributed constrained optimization problem with private cost functions and global constraints, in a collaborative manner. Our algorithm employs…

Distributed computing excels at processing large scale data, but the communication cost for synchronizing the shared parameters may slow down the overall performance. Fortunately, the interactions between parameter and data in many problems…

Distributed optimization for resource allocation problems is investigated and a sub-optimal continuous-time algorithm is proposed. Our algorithm has lower order dynamics than others to reduce burdens of computation and communication, and is…

We consider a new semidefinite programming relaxation for directed edge expansion, which is obtained by adding triangle inequalities to the reweighted eigenvalue formulation. Applying the matrix multiplicative weight update method to this…

Graph clustering is a fundamental computational problem with a number of applications in algorithm design, machine learning, data mining, and analysis of social networks. Over the past decades, researchers have proposed a number of…

In this work, we develop a new framework for dynamic network flow problems based on optimal transport theory. We show that the dynamic multi-commodity minimum-cost network flow problem can be formulated as a multi-marginal optimal transport…

We propose Distributed Neighbor Expansion (Distributed NE), a parallel and distributed graph partitioning method that can scale to trillion-edge graphs while providing high partitioning quality. Distributed NE is based on a new heuristic,…

Motivated by the increasing need to understand the algorithmic foundations of distributed large-scale graph computations, we study a number of fundamental graph problems in a message-passing model for distributed computing where $k \geq 2$…

Davis-Yin splitting (DYS) has found a wide range of applications in optimization, but its linear rates of convergence have not been studied extensively. The scaled relative graph (SRG) simplifies the convergence analysis of operator…

When minimizing the sum of a convex and a strongly convex function, or when finding the zero of the sum of a monotone operator and a strongly monotone operator, Chambolle and Pock (2010) and Davis and Yin (2015) proposed accelerated…

Recently, heuristics based on the Douglas-Rachford splitting algorithm and the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) have found empirical success in minimizing convex functions over nonconvex sets, but not much has been done to…
