We study the problem of recovery of matrices that are simultaneously low rank and row and/or column sparse. Such matrices appear in recent applications in cognitive neuroscience, imaging, computer vision, macroeconomics, and genetics. We…
Sparse optimization refers to an optimization problem involving the zero-norm in objective or constraints. In this paper, nonconvex approximation approaches for sparse optimization have been studied with a unifying point of view in DC…
In this paper, we develop a new computational approach which is based on minimizing the difference of two convex functionals (DC) to solve a broader class of phase retrieval problems. The approach splits a standard nonlinear least squares…
We address the minimization of a smooth objective function under an $\ell_0$-constraint and simple convex constraints. When the problem has no constraints except the $\ell_0$-constraint, some efficient algorithms are available; for example,…
In this paper, the optimization problem of the supervised distance preserving projection (SDPP) for data dimension reduction (DR) is considered, which is equivalent to a rank constrained least squares semidefinite programming (RCLSSDP). In…
We study binary optimization problems of the form \( \min_{x\in\{-1,1\}^n} f(Ax-b) \) with possibly nonsmooth loss \(f\). Following the lifted rank-one semidefinite programming (SDP) approach\cite{qian2023matrix}, we develop a…
Recovering low-rank and sparse matrices from incomplete or corrupted observations is an important problem in machine learning, statistics, bioinformatics, computer vision, as well as signal and image processing. In theory, this problem can…
The goal of affine matrix rank minimization problem is to reconstruct a low-rank or approximately low-rank matrix under linear constraints. In general, this problem is combinatorial and NP-hard. In this paper, a nonconvex fraction function…
Nonsmooth Riemannian optimization has attracted increasing attention, especially in problems with sparse structures. While existing formulations typically involve convex nonsmooth terms, incorporating nonsmooth difference-of-convex (DC)…
In this paper, we study possible extensions of the main ideas and methods of constrained DC optimization to the case of nonlinear semidefinite programming problems and more general nonlinear and nonsmooth cone constrained optimization…
In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for recovery of low-rank matrices from compressed linear measurements. The underlying idea of this algorithm is to closely approximate the rank function with a smooth function of singular values,…
The low-rank matrix reconstruction (LRMR) approach is widely used in direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation. As the rank norm penalty in an LRMR is NP-hard to compute, the nuclear norm (or the trace norm for a positive semidefinite (PSD)…
The difference-of-convex algorithm (DCA) is a well-established nonlinear programming technique that solves successive convex optimization problems. These sub-problems are obtained from the difference-of-convex~(DC) decompositions of the…
In this paper, we consider the problem of Robust Matrix Completion (RMC) where the goal is to recover a low-rank matrix by observing a small number of its entries out of which a few can be arbitrarily corrupted. We propose a simple…
Sparse signal recovery based on nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization problems has significant applications and demonstrates superior performance in signal processing and machine learning. This work deals with a scale-invariant…
We propose and study a version of the DCA (Difference-of-Convex functions Algorithm) using the $\ell_1$ penalty function for solving nonsmooth DC optimization problems with nonsmooth DC equality and inequality constraints. The method…
We consider a class of difference-of-convex (DC) optimization problems where the objective function is the sum of a smooth function and a possible nonsmooth DC function. The application of proximal DC algorithms to address this problem…
The difference-of-convex algorithm (DCA) and its variants are the most popular methods to solve the difference-of-convex optimization problem. Each iteration of them is reduced to a convex optimization problem, which generally needs to be…
In this work, we consider the low rank decomposition (SDPR) of general convex semidefinite programming problems (SDP) that contain both a positive semidefinite matrix and a nonnegative vector as variables. We develop a rank-support-adaptive…
In this paper, we develop a nonconvex approach to the problem of low-rank and sparse matrix decomposition. In our nonconvex method, we replace the rank function and the $l_{0}$-norm of a given matrix with a non-convex fraction function on…
