We introduce a framework for designing primal methods under the decentralized optimization setting where local functions are smooth and strongly convex. Our approach consists of approximately solving a sequence of sub-problems induced by…
We propose a first-order augmented Lagrangian algorithm (FAL) for solving the basis pursuit problem. FAL computes a solution to this problem by inexactly solving a sequence of L1-regularized least squares sub-problems. These sub-problems…
In this paper, we consider nonlinear optimization problems with nonlinear equality constraints and bound constraints on the variables. For the solution of such problems, many augmented Lagrangian methods have been defined in the literature.…
This paper proposes and analyzes a proximal augmented Lagrangian (NL-IAPIAL) method for solving smooth nonconvex composite optimization problems with nonlinear $\cal K$-convex constraints, i.e., the constraints are convex with respect to…
We study a Newton-like method for the minimization of an objective function that is the sum of a smooth convex function and an l-1 regularization term. This method, which is sometimes referred to in the literature as a proximal Newton…
Nonsmooth nonconvex optimization problems involving the $\ell^p$ quasi-norm, $p \in (0, 1]$, of a linear map are considered. A monotonically convergent scheme for a regularized version of the original problem is developed and necessary…
The proximal alternating linearized minimization method (PALM) suits well for solving block-structured optimization problems, which are ubiquitous in real applications. In the cases where subproblems do not have closed-form solutions, e.g.,…
Nonlinear programming (NLP) plays a critical role in domains such as power energy systems, chemical engineering, communication networks, and financial engineering. However, solving large-scale, nonconvex NLP problems remains a significant…
In this paper, we propose an inexact proximal Newton-type method for nonconvex composite problems. We establish the global convergence rate of the order $\mathcal{O}(k^{-1/2})$ in terms of the minimal norm of the KKT residual mapping and…
To construct a parallel approach for solving optimization problems with orthogonality constraints is usually regarded as an extremely difficult mission, due to the low scalability of the orthonormalization procedure. However, such demand is…
In this paper, we consider online convex optimization (OCO) with time-varying loss and constraint functions. Specifically, the decision maker chooses sequential decisions based only on past information, meantime the loss and constraint…

Nonconvex and structured optimization problems arise in many engineering applications that demand scalable and distributed solution methods. The study of the convergence properties of these methods is in general difficult due to the…
In this paper we propose and analyze inexact and stochastic versions of the CGALP algorithm developed in the authors' previous paper, which we denote ICGALP, that allows for errors in the computation of several important quantities. In…
We consider a class of structured, nonconvex, nonsmooth optimization problems under orthogonality constraints, where the objectives combine a smooth function, a nonsmooth concave function, and a nonsmooth weakly convex function. This class…
