In this paper, we consider the minimization of a nonsmooth nonconvex objective function $f(x)$ over a closed convex subset $\mathcal{X}$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, with additional nonsmooth nonconvex constraints $c(x) = 0$. We develop a unified…

This paper analyzes the contraction of the primal-dual gradient optimization via contraction theory in the context of discrete-time updating dynamics. The contraction theory based on Riemannian manifolds is first established for convergence…

This paper proposes a Riemannian Multiobjective Proximal Gradient Method (RMPGM) for composite optimization problems on manifolds. Unlike scalarization-based approaches, the proposed framework directly handles vector-valued objectives and…

This paper considers a generic convex minimization template with affine constraints over a compact domain, which covers key semidefinite programming applications. The existing conditional gradient methods either do not apply to our template…

We numerically benchmark methods for computing harmonic maps into the unit sphere, with particular focus on harmonic maps with singularities. For the discretization we compare two different approaches, both based on Lagrange finite…

In recent years, stochastic variance reduction algorithms have attracted considerable attention for minimizing the average of a large but finite number of loss functions. This paper proposes a novel Riemannian extension of the Euclidean…

We propose a Riemannian optimization approach for computing low-rank solutions of the algebraic Riccati equation. The scheme alternates between fixed-rank optimization and rank-one updates. The fixed-rank optimization is on the set of…

This paper introduces a smoothed proximal Lagrangian method for minimizing a nonconvex smooth function over a convex domain with additional explicit convex nonlinear constraints. Two key features are 1) the proposed method is single-looped,…

Linear programming relaxations are central to {\sc map} inference in discrete Markov Random Fields. The ability to properly solve the Lagrangian dual is a critical component of such methods. In this paper, we study the benefit of using…

This paper considers the problem of minimizing the summation of a differentiable function and a nonsmooth function on a Riemannian manifold. In recent years, proximal gradient method and its invariants have been generalized to the…

We consider decentralized optimization over a compact Riemannian submanifold in a network of $n$ agents, where each agent holds a smooth, nonconvex local objective defined by its private data. The goal is to collaboratively minimize the sum…

Novel convergence analyses are presented of Riemannian stochastic gradient descent (RSGD) on a Hadamard manifold. RSGD is the most basic Riemannian stochastic optimization algorithm and is used in many applications in the field of machine…

The conjugate gradient method is a crucial first-order optimization method that generally converges faster than the steepest descent method, and its computational cost is much lower than that of second-order methods. However, while various…

In this paper, we consider optimization problems over closed embedded submanifolds of $\mathbb{R}^n$, which are defined by the constraints $c(x) = 0$. We propose a class of constraint dissolving approaches for these Riemannian optimization…

We study the stochastic Riemannian gradient algorithm for matrix eigen-decomposition. The state-of-the-art stochastic Riemannian algorithm requires the learning rate to decay to zero and thus suffers from slow convergence and sub-optimal…

This paper considers the optimization problem in the form of $\min_{X \in \mathcal{F}_v} f(x) + \lambda \|X\|_1,$ where $f$ is smooth, $\mathcal{F}_v = \{X \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times q} : X^T X = I_q, v \in \mathrm{span}(X)\}$, and $v$ is a…

We consider a nonsmooth optimization problem on Riemannian manifold, whose objective function is the sum of a differentiable component and a nonsmooth convex function. We propose a manifold inexact augmented Lagrangian method (MIALM) for…

In this paper, we provide the first provable linear-time (in the number of non-zero entries of the input) algorithm for approximately solving the generalized trust region subproblem (GTRS) of minimizing a quadratic function over a quadratic…

We develop a decomposition method based on the augmented Lagrangian framework to solve a broad family of semidefinite programming problems, possibly with nonlinear objective functions, nonsmooth regularization, and general linear…

In this work, we introduce a novel stochastic second-order method, within the framework of a non-monotone trust-region approach, for solving the unconstrained, nonlinear, and non-convex optimization problems arising in the training of deep…
