This paper considers sufficient descent Riemannian conjugate gradient methods with line search algorithms. We propose two kinds of sufficient descent nonlinear conjugate gradient methods and prove these methods satisfy the sufficient…

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…

The iteratively reweighted l1 algorithm is a widely used method for solving various regularization problems, which generally minimize a differentiable loss function combined with a nonconvex regularizer to induce sparsity in the solution.…

The Kurdyka-{\L}ojasiewicz (K{\L}) property, exponent and modulus have played a very important role in the study of global convergence and rate of convergence for optimal algorithms. In this paper, at a stationary point of a locally lower…

The Kaczmarz method (KZ) and its variants, which are types of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) methods, have been extensively studied due to their simplicity and efficiency in solving linear equation systems. The iterative thresholding…

This paper addresses the study of derivative-free smooth optimization problems, where the gradient information on the objective function is unavailable. Two novel general derivative-free methods are proposed and developed for minimizing…

This study develops a fixed-time convergent saddle point dynamical system for solving min-max problems under a relaxation of standard convexity-concavity assumption. In particular, it is shown that by leveraging the dynamical systems…

Due to its applications in many different places in machine learning and other connected engineering applications, the problem of minimization of a smooth function that satisfies the Polyak-{\L}ojasiewicz condition receives much attention…

In this paper, we study the decentralized optimization problem of minimizing a finite sum of continuously differentiable and possibly nonconvex functions over a fixed-connected undirected network. We propose a unified decentralized…

In this paper, a descent method for nonsmooth multiobjective optimization problems on complete Riemannian manifolds is proposed. The objective functions are only assumed to be locally Lipschitz continuous instead of convexity used in…

Nonconvex-nonconcave minimax optimization has received intense attention over the last decade due to its broad applications in machine learning. Most existing algorithms rely on one-sided information, such as the convexity (resp. concavity)…

In this article, a globally convergent sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method is developed for multi-objective optimization problems with inequality type constraints. A feasible descent direction is obtained using a linear…

Polyak-{\L}ojasiewicz (PL) [Polyak, 1963] condition is a weaker condition than the strong convexity but suffices to ensure a global convergence for the Gradient Descent algorithm. In this paper, we study the lower bound of algorithms using…

In this paper, we study the sequential convex programming method with monotone line search (SCP$_{ls}$) in [46] for a class of difference-of-convex (DC) optimization problems with multiple smooth inequality constraints. The SCP$_{ls}$ is a…

We study the convergence issue for inexact descent algorithm (employing general step sizes) for multiobjective optimizations on general Riemannian manifolds (without curvature constraints). Under the assumption of the local…

We propose a new family of inexact sequential quadratic approximation (SQA) methods, which we call the inexact regularized proximal Newton ($\textsf{IRPN}$) method, for minimizing the sum of two closed proper convex functions, one of which…

A linear programming (LP) based framework is presented for obtaining converses for finite blocklength lossy joint source-channel coding problems. The framework applies for any loss criterion, generalizes certain previously known converses,…

We consider regularization of non-convex optimization problems involving a non-linear least-squares objective. By adding an auxiliary set of variables, we introduce a novel regularization framework whose corresponding objective function is…

In this paper we develop a higher-order method for solving composite (non)convex minimization problems with smooth (non)convex functional constraints. At each iteration our method approximates the smooth part of the objective function and…

Minimization of a smooth function on a sphere or, more generally, on a smooth manifold, is the simplest non-convex optimization problem. It has a lot of applications. Our goal is to propose a version of the gradient projection algorithm for…
