This work investigates fault-resilient federated learning when the data samples are non-uniformly distributed across workers, and the number of faulty workers is unknown to the central server. In the presence of adversarially faulty workers…

Motivated by an inertial primal-dual dynamical system with vanishing damping, we propose a class of accelerated augmented Lagrangian methods with Nesterov extrapolation parameters for a linearly constrained convex optimization problem with…

Gradient descent optimization algorithms are the standard ingredients that are used to train artificial neural networks (ANNs). Even though a huge number of numerical simulations indicate that gradient descent optimization methods do indeed…

For many problems, some of which are reviewed in the paper, popular algorithms like Douglas--Rachford (DR), ADMM, and FISTA produce approximating sequences that show signs of spiraling toward the solution. We present a meta-algorithm that…

We develop and analyze a variant of Nesterov's accelerated gradient descent (AGD) for minimization of smooth non-convex functions. We prove that one of two cases occurs: either our AGD variant converges quickly, as if the function was…

Under the strongly convex assumption, several recent works studied the global linear convergence rate of the proximal incremental aggregated gradient (PIAG) method for minimizing the sum of a large number of smooth component functions and a…

In a Hilbert framework, for convex differentiable optimization, we consider accelerated gradient methods obtained by combining temporal scaling and averaging techniques with Tikhonov regularization. We start from the continuous steepest…

We study first-order methods for convex optimization problems with functions $f$ satisfying the recently proposed $\ell$-smoothness condition $||\nabla^{2}f(x)|| \le \ell\left(||\nabla f(x)||\right),$ which generalizes the $L$-smoothness…

Nesterov's accelerated gradient algorithm is derived from first principles. The first principles are founded on the recently-developed optimal control theory for optimization. This theory frames an optimization problem as an optimal control…

This paper is concerned with convergence of stochastic gradient algorithms with momentum terms in the nonconvex setting. A class of stochastic momentum methods, including stochastic gradient descent, heavy ball, and Nesterov's accelerated…

Recently, {\it stochastic momentum} methods have been widely adopted in training deep neural networks. However, their convergence analysis is still underexplored at the moment, in particular for non-convex optimization. This paper fills the…

In this paper, under the hypothesis that $\rho$ is upper bounded, we construct a Lyapunov functional for the multidimensional isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations and show that the weak solutions decay exponentially to the…

We propose a composite Lyapunov framework for nonlinear autonomous systems that ensures strict decay through a pair of differential inequalities. The approach yields integral estimates, quantitative convergence rates, vanishing of…

The most popular first-order accelerated black-box methods for solving large-scale convex optimization problems are the Fast Gradient Method (FGM) and the Fast Iterative Shrinkage Thresholding Algorithm (FISTA). FGM requires that the…

We present a new accelerated stochastic second-order method that is robust to both gradient and Hessian inexactness, which occurs typically in machine learning. We establish theoretical lower bounds and prove that our algorithm achieves…

In this paper, we consider Nesterov's Accelerated Gradient method for solving Nonlinear Inverse and Ill-Posed Problems. Known to be a fast gradient-based iterative method for solving well-posed convex optimization problems, this method also…

The proximal point method (PPM) is a fundamental method in optimization that is often used as a building block for designing optimization algorithms. In this work, we use the PPM method to provide conceptually simple derivations along with…

Let $f:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ be a continuously differentiable convex function with its minimizer denoted by $x_*$ and optimal value $f_* = f(x_*)$. Optimization algorithms such as the gradient descent method can often be interpreted…

Optimization plays a key role in machine learning. Recently, stochastic second-order methods have attracted much attention due to their low computational cost in each iteration. However, these algorithms might perform poorly especially if…

This paper provides a new way of developing the fast iterative shrinkage/thresholding algorithm (FISTA) that is widely used for minimizing composite convex functions with a nonsmooth term such as the $\ell_1$ regularizer. In particular,…
