In this paper, we consider a class of nonsmooth sum-of-ratios fractional optimization problems with block structure. This model class is ubiquitous and encompasses several important nonsmooth optimization problems in the literature. We…
The problem of minimizing the sum of nonsmooth, convex objective functions defined on a real Hilbert space over the intersection of fixed point sets of nonexpansive mappings, onto which the projections cannot be efficiently computed, is…
Stochastic gradient descent type methods are ubiquitous in machine learning, but they are only applicable to the optimization of differentiable functions. Proximal algorithms are more general and applicable to nonsmooth functions. We…
In this paper we study nonconvex and nonsmooth multi-block optimization over Riemannian manifolds with coupled linear constraints. Such optimization problems naturally arise from machine learning, statistical learning, compressive sensing,…
In this paper we present a variant of the proximal forward-backward splitting iteration for solving nonsmooth optimization problems in Hilbert spaces, when the objective function is the sum of two nondifferentiable convex functions. The…
We study the Bregman Augmented Lagrangian method (BALM) for solving convex problems with linear constraints. For classical Augmented Lagrangian method, the convergence rate and its relation with the proximal point method is well-understood.…
We propose an accelerated block proximal linear framework with adaptive momentum (ABPL$^+$) for nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization. We analyze the potential causes of the extrapolation step failing in some algorithms, and resolve this…
In this paper, we introduce a proximal-proximal majorization-minimization (PPMM) algorithm for nonconvex tuning-free robust regression problems. The basic idea is to apply the proximal majorization-minimization algorithm to solve the…
In this paper, we propose a variance-reduced primal-dual algorithm with Bregman distance for solving convex-concave saddle-point problems with finite-sum structure and nonbilinear coupling function. This type of problems typically arises in…
We present a proximal augmented Lagrangian based solver for general convex quadratic programs (QPs), relying on semismooth Newton iterations with exact line search to solve the inner subproblems. The exact line search reduces in this case…
In this paper, we propose an inertial accelerated primal-dual method for the linear equality constrained convex optimization problem. When the objective function has a ``nonsmooth + smooth'' composite structure, we further propose an…
The quadratic penalty alternating minimization (AM) method is widely used for solving the convex $\ell_1$ total variation (TV) image deblurring problem. However, quadratic penalty AM for solving the nonconvex nonsmooth $\ell_p$, $0 < p < 1$…
In this paper we study an algorithm for solving a minimization problem composed of a differentiable (possibly non-convex) and a convex (possibly non-differentiable) function. The algorithm iPiano combines forward-backward splitting with an…
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…
We provide an overview of primal-dual algorithms for nonsmooth and non-convex-concave saddle-point problems. This flows around a new analysis of such methods, using Bregman divergences to formulate simplified conditions for convergence.
In this paper, we explore a specific optimization problem that involves the combination of a differentiable nonconvex function and a nondifferentiable function. The differentiable component lacks a global Lipschitz continuous gradient,…
This paper proposes a new inexact manifold proximal linear (IManPL) algorithm for solving nonsmooth, nonconvex composite optimization problems over an embedded submanifold. At each iteration, IManPL solves a convex subproblem inexactly,…
Our work considers the optimization of the sum of a non-smooth convex function and a finite family of composite convex functions, each one of which is composed of a convex function and a bounded linear operator. This type of problem is…
We study the convergence properties of an alternating proximal minimization algorithm for nonconvex structured functions of the type: $L(x,y)=f(x)+Q(x,y)+g(y)$, where $f:\R^n\rightarrow\R\cup{+\infty}$ and $g:\R^m\rightarrow\R\cup{+\infty}$…
We consider a scalar objective minimization problem over the solution set of another optimization problem. This problem is known as simple bilevel optimization problem and has drawn a significant attention in the last few years. Our inner…
