Quasi-Newton methods refer to a class of algorithms at the interface between first and second order methods. They aim to progress as substantially as second order methods per iteration, while maintaining the computational complexity of…
Update formulas for the Hessian approximations in quasi-Newton methods such as BFGS can be derived as analytical solutions to certain nearest-matrix problems. In this article, we propose a similar idea for deriving new limited memory…
This paper presents a finite difference quasi-Newton method for the minimization of noisy functions. The method takes advantage of the scalability and power of BFGS updating, and employs an adaptive procedure for choosing the differencing…
We develop a trust-region method for minimizing the sum of a smooth term $f$ and a nonsmooth term $h$), both of which can be nonconvex. Each iteration of our method minimizes a possibly nonconvex model of $f + h$ in a trust region. The…
This paper considers the generalized continuation Newton method and thetrust-region updating strategy for the underdetermined system of nonlinear equations. Moreover, in order to improve its computational efficiency, the new method will not…
Four decades after their invention, quasi-Newton methods are still state of the art in unconstrained numerical optimization. Although not usually interpreted thus, these are learning algorithms that fit a local quadratic approximation to…
This paper addresses some trust-region methods equipped with nonmonotone strategies for solving nonlinear unconstrained optimization problems. More specifically, the importance of using nonmonotone techniques in nonlinear optimization is…
Physics-informed machine learning and inverse modeling require the solution of ill-conditioned non-convex optimization problems. First-order methods, such as SGD and ADAM, and quasi-Newton methods, such as BFGS and L-BFGS, have been applied…
This paper deals with regularized Newton methods, a flexible class of unconstrained optimization algorithms that is competitive with line search and trust region methods and potentially combines attractive elements of both. The particular…
Adaptive regularized framework using cubics has emerged as an alternative to line-search and trust-region algorithms for smooth nonconvex optimization, with an optimal complexity amongst second-order methods. In this paper, we propose and…
We propose a novel linesearch variant of the trust region normal map-based semismooth Newton method developed in [Ouyang and Milzarek, Math. Program. 212(1-2), 389--435 (2025)] for solving a class of nonsmooth, nonconvex composite-type…
We propose a trust region method for policy optimization that employs Quasi-Newton approximation for the Hessian, called Quasi-Newton Trust Region Policy Optimization QNTRPO. Gradient descent is the de facto algorithm for reinforcement…
We propose a novel trust region method for solving a class of nonsmooth, nonconvex composite-type optimization problems. The approach embeds inexact semismooth Newton steps for finding zeros of a normal map-based stationarity measure for…
Machine learning (ML) problems are often posed as highly nonlinear and nonconvex unconstrained optimization problems. Methods for solving ML problems based on stochastic gradient descent are easily scaled for very large problems but may…
In this article, we consider solvers for large-scale trust-region subproblems when the quadratic model is defined by a limited-memory symmetric rank-one (L-SR1) quasi-Newton matrix. We propose a solver that exploits the compact…
We propose a trust-region type method for a class of nonsmooth nonconvex optimization problems where the objective function is a summation of a (probably nonconvex) smooth function and a (probably nonsmooth) convex function. The model…
We present two sampled quasi-Newton methods (sampled LBFGS and sampled LSR1) for solving empirical risk minimization problems that arise in machine learning. Contrary to the classical variants of these methods that sequentially build…
We introduce a two-level trust-region method (TLTR) for solving unconstrained nonlinear optimization problems. Our method uses a composite iteration step, which is based on two distinct search directions. The first search direction is…
A trust-region algorithm using inexact function and derivatives values is introduced for solving unconstrained smooth optimization problems. This algorithm uses high-order Taylor models and allows the search of strong approximate minimizers…
