We consider solving high-order semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations of nonconvex polynomial optimization problems (POPs) that often admit degenerate rank-one optimal solutions. Instead of solving the SDP alone, we propose a new…

In this work, we consider convex optimization problems with smooth objective function and nonsmooth functional constraints. We propose a new stochastic gradient algorithm, called Stochastic Halfspace Approximation Method (SHAM), to solve…

We consider the problem of minimizing the sum of a smooth function and a composition of a zero-one loss function with a linear operator, namely zero-one composite optimization problem (0/1-COP). It is a versatile model including the support…

This paper studies first-order algorithms for solving fully composite optimization problems over convex and compact sets. We leverage the structure of the objective by handling its differentiable and non-differentiable components…

Convex optimization is an essential tool for modern data analysis, as it provides a framework to formulate and solve many problems in machine learning and data mining. However, general convex optimization solvers do not scale well, and…

We propose an efficient hyper-reduced order model (HROM) designed for segregated finite-volume solvers in geometrically parametrized problems. The method follows a discretize-then-project strategy: the full-order operators are first…

We study the deterministic global optimization of trained Gaussian process posterior mean functions over hyperrectangular domains. Although the posterior mean function has a compact closed-form representation, its global optimization is…

In this paper, we introduce a new heuristics for global optimization in scenarios where extensive evaluations of the cost function are expensive, inaccessible, or even prohibitive. The method, which we call Landscape-Sketch-and-Step (LSS),…

This paper proposes novel algorithm for non-convex multimodal constrained optimisation problems. It is based on sequential solving restrictions of problem to sections of feasible set by random subspaces (in general, manifolds) of low…

In this paper, a non-linear p-robust hub location problem is extended to a risky environment where augmented chance constraint with a min-max regret form is employed to consider network risk as one of the objectives. The model considers…

We propose a novel method to fit and segment multi-structural data via convex relaxation. Unlike greedy methods --which maximise the number of inliers-- this approach efficiently searches for a soft assignment of points to models by…

This paper focuses on solving the multiplicative gamma denoising problem via a variation model. Variation-based regularization models have been extensively employed in a variety of inverse problem tasks in image processing. However,…

A non-intrusive reduced order model based on convolutional autoencoders (NIROM-CAEs) is proposed as a data-driven tool to build an efficient nonlinear reduced-order model for stochastic spatio-temporal large-scale physical problems. The…

This paper proposes distributed algorithms to solve robust convex optimization (RCO) when the constraints are affected by nonlinear uncertainty. We adopt a scenario approach by randomly sampling the uncertainty set. To facilitate the…

We propose a novel method that solves global optimization problems in two steps: (1) perform a (exponential) power-$N$ transformation to the not-necessarily differentiable objective function $f$ and get $f_N$, and (2) optimize the…

We consider the distributed pose-graph optimization (PGO) problem, which is fundamental in accurate trajectory estimation in multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Conventional iterative approaches linearize a highly…

The efficient optimization of actuated soft structures, particularly under complex nonlinear forces, remains a critical challenge in advancing robotics. Simulations of nonlinear structures, such as soft-bodied robots modeled using the…

Although much research has been devoted to the problem of restoring Poissonian images, namely in the fields of medical and astronomical imaging, applying the state of the art regularizers (such as those based on wavelets or total variation)…

A new technique of global optimization and its applications in particular to neural networks are presented. The algorithm is also compared to other global optimization algorithms such as Gradient descent (GD), Monte Carlo (MC), Genetic…

We present a first-order method for solving constrained optimization problems. The method is derived from our previous work, a modified search direction method inspired by singular value decomposition. In this work, we simplify its…
