We consider the quadratic optimization problem $\max_{x \in C}\ x^T Q x + q^T x$, where $C\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ is a box and $r := \mathrm{rank}(Q)$ is assumed to be $\mathcal{O}(1)$ (i.e., fixed). We show that this case can be solved in…

We present an accelerated, or 'look-ahead' version of the Newton-Dinkelbach method, a well-known technique for solving fractional and parametric optimization problems. This acceleration halves the Bregman divergence between the current…

Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization models are useful for solving a diverse range of optimization problems. Constraints can be added by incorporating quadratic penalty terms into the objective, often with the introduction of slack…

Least squares form one of the most prominent classes of optimization problems, with numerous applications in scientific computing and data fitting. When such formulations aim at modeling complex systems, the optimization process must…

For subspace estimation with an unknown colored noise, Factor Analysis (FA) is a good candidate for replacing the popular eigenvalue decomposition (EVD). Finding the unknowns in factor analysis can be done by solving a non-linear least…

In this paper, we present a novel method for solving a class of quadratically constrained quadratic optimization problems using only additions and multiplications. This approach enables solving constrained optimization problems on private…

We develop a new algorithm for factoring a bivariate polynomial $F\in \mathbb{K}[x,y]$ which takes fully advantage of the geometry of the Newton polygon of $F$. Under a non degeneracy hypothesis, the complexity is…

Nonnegative (linear) least square problems are a fundamental class of problems that is well-studied in statistical learning and for which solvers have been implemented in many of the standard programming languages used within the machine…

We propose a new algorithm to solve optimization problems of the form $\min f(X)$ for a smooth function $f$ under the constraints that $X$ is positive semidefinite and the diagonal blocks of $X$ are small identity matrices. Such problems…

Motivated by an application in computational biology, we consider low-rank matrix factorization with $\{0,1\}$-constraints on one of the factors and optionally convex constraints on the second one. In addition to the non-convexity shared…

A defect correction formula for quadratic matrix equations of the kind $A_1X^2+A_0X+A_{-1}=0$ is presented. This formula, expressed by means of an invariant subspace of a suitable pencil, allows us to introduce a modification of the…

Nonnegative matrix factorization is the following problem: given a nonnegative input matrix $V$ and a factorization rank $K$, compute two nonnegative matrices, $W$ with $K$ columns and $H$ with $K$ rows, such that $WH$ approximates $V$ as…

A Riemannian gradient descent algorithm and a truncated variant are presented to solve systems of phaseless equations $|Ax|^2=y$. The algorithms are developed by exploiting the inherent low rank structure of the problem based on the…

Let us consider the following robust nonconvex quadratic optimization problem: \begin{equation*} \begin{split} \min &~ \dfrac{1}{2} x^\top Ax+a^\top x \\ \text{s.t.}~ & \alpha\leq\dfrac{1}{2}x^\top (B_1+\mu B_2)x+(b_1+\delta b_2)^\top x…

We propose a first-order augmented Lagrangian algorithm (FALC) to solve the composite norm minimization problem min |sigma(F(X)-G)|_alpha + |C(X)- d|_beta subject to A(X)-b in Q; where sigma(X) denotes the vector of singular values of X,…

In this paper, we study the polynomial optimization problem of multi-forms over the intersection of the multi-spheres and the nonnegative orthants. This class of problems is NP-hard in general, and includes the problem of finding the best…

Min-plus product of two $n\times n$ matrices is a fundamental problem in algorithm research. It is known to be equivalent to APSP, and in general it has no truly subcubic algorithms. In this paper, we focus on the min-plus product on a…

In this paper, an exact algorithm in polynomial time is developed to solve unrestricted binary quadratic programs. The computational complexity is $O\left( n^{\frac{15}{2}}\right) $, although very conservative, it is sufficient to prove…

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…

In this paper, we present a direct quantum adaptation of the classical shifted power method. The method is very similar to the iterative phase estimation algorithm; however, it does not require any initial estimate of an eigenvector and as…
