The convex envelopes of the direct discrete measures, for the sparsity of vectors or for the low-rankness of matrices, have been utilized extensively as practical penalties in order to compute a globally optimal solution of the…

We consider minimization problems with structured objective function and smooth constraints, and present a flexible framework that combines the beneficial regularization effects of (exact) penalty and interior-point methods. In the fully…

For the sparsity-rank-aware least squares estimations, the LiGME (Linearly involved Generalized Moreau Enhanced) model was established recently in [Abe, Yamagishi, Yamada, 2020] to use certain nonconvex enhancements of linearly involved…

For a regularized least squares estimation of discrete-valued signals, we propose a Linearly involved Generalized Moreau Enhanced (LiGME) regularizer, as a nonconvex regularizer, of designated isolated minimizers. The proposed regularizer…

This paper develops a convex approach for sparse one-dimensional deconvolution that improves upon L1-norm regularization, the standard convex approach. We propose a sparsity-inducing non-separable non-convex bivariate penalty function for…

This paper addresses the problem of sparsity penalized least squares for applications in sparse signal processing, e.g. sparse deconvolution. This paper aims to induce sparsity more strongly than L1 norm regularization, while avoiding…

In this work we consider numerical efficiency and convergence rates for solvers of non-convex multi-penalty formulations when reconstructing sparse signals from noisy linear measurements. We extend an existing approach, based on reduction…

In this paper we study the convex envelopes of a new class of functions. Using this approach, we are able to unify two important classes of regularizers from unbiased non-convex formulations and weighted nuclear norm penalties. This opens…

Non-convex sparsity-inducing penalties have recently received considerable attentions in sparse learning. Recent theoretical investigations have demonstrated their superiority over the convex counterparts in several sparse learning…

This study develops a framework for a class of constant modulus (CM) optimization problems, which covers binary constraints, discrete phase constraints, semi-orthogonal matrix constraints, non-negative semi-orthogonal matrix constraints,…

We propose a nonconvexly regularized convex model for linear regression problems under non-Gaussian noise. The cost function of the proposed model is designed with a possibly non-quadratic data fidelity term and a nonconvex regularizer via…

In the area of sparse recovery, numerous researches hint that non-convex penalties might induce better sparsity than convex ones, but up until now those corresponding non-convex algorithms lack convergence guarantees from the initial…

In this paper, we propose a proximal splitting methodology with a non-convex penalty function based on the heavy-tailed Cauchy distribution. We first suggest a closed-form expression for calculating the proximal operator of the Cauchy…

In this paper, we introduce a class of nonsmooth nonconvex least square optimization problem using convex analysis tools and we propose to use the iterative minimization-majorization (MM) algorithm on a convex set with initializer away from…

In this paper, we consider the problem of recovering a sparse signal based on penalized least squares formulations. We develop a novel algorithm of primal-dual active set type for a class of nonconvex sparsity-promoting penalties, including…

Sparse approximate solutions to linear equations are classically obtained via L1 norm regularized least squares, but this method often underestimates the true solution. As an alternative to the L1 norm, this paper proposes a class of…

This paper develops a unified nonconvex optimization framework for the design of group-sparse feedback controllers in infinite-horizon linear-quadratic (LQ) problems. We address two prominent extensions of the classical LQ problem: the…

In this paper, we give a new penalized semidefinite programming approach for non-convex quadratically-constrained quadratic programs (QCQPs). We incorporate penalty terms into the objective of convex relaxations in order to retrieve…

Minimax optimization has become a central tool in machine learning with applications in robust optimization, reinforcement learning, GANs, etc. These applications are often nonconvex-nonconcave, but the existing theory is unable to identify…

This paper concerns with a noisy structured low-rank matrix recovery problem which can be modeled as a structured rank minimization problem. We reformulate this problem as a mathematical program with a generalized complementarity constraint…
