The proximal bundle method (PBM) is a fundamental and computationally effective algorithm for solving nonsmooth optimization problems. In this paper, we present the first variant of the PBM for smooth objectives, achieving an accelerated…

The proximal bundle method (PBM) is a powerful and widely used approach for minimizing nonsmooth convex functions. However, for smooth objectives, its best-known convergence rate remains suboptimal, and whether PBM can be accelerated…

Proximal bundle methods (PBM) are a powerful class of algorithms for convex optimization. Compared to gradient descent, PBM constructs more accurate surrogate models that incorporate gradients and function values from multiple past…

This paper establishes the iteration-complexity of proximal bundle methods for solving hybrid (i.e., a blend of smooth and nonsmooth) weakly convex composite optimization (HWC-CO) problems. This is done in a unified manner by considering a…

We study convergence rates of the classic proximal bundle method for a variety of nonsmooth convex optimization problems. We show that, without any modification, this algorithm adapts to converge faster in the presence of smoothness or a…

This paper presents a proximal bundle variant, namely, the relaxed proximal bundle (RPB) method, for solving convex nonsmooth composite optimization problems. Like other proximal bundle variants, RPB solves a sequence of prox bundle…

We propose new proximal bundle algorithms for minimizing a nonsmooth convex function. These algorithms are derived from the application of Nesterov fast gradient methods for smooth convex minimization to the so-called Moreau-Yosida…

We propose a new bundle-based augmented Lagrangian framework for solving constrained convex problems. Unlike the classical (inexact) augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) that has a nested double-loop structure, our framework features a…

This paper develops a parameter-free adaptive proximal bundle method with two important features: 1) adaptive choice of variable prox stepsizes that "closely fits" the instance under consideration; and 2) adaptive criterion for making the…

We study the problem of minimizing a $m$-weakly convex and possibly nonsmooth function. Weak convexity provides a broad framework that subsumes convex, smooth, and many composite nonconvex functions. In this work, we propose a…

This paper considers optimization problems where the objective is the sum of a function given by an expectation and a closed convex composite function, and proposes stochastic composite proximal bundle (SCPB) methods for solving it.…

This paper presents a proximal bundle (PB) framework based on a generic bundle update scheme for solving the hybrid convex composite optimization (HCCO) problem and establishes a common iteration-complexity bound for any variant belonging…

Non-smooth and non-convex global optimization poses significant challenges across various applications, where standard gradient-based methods often struggle. We propose the Ball-Proximal Point Method, Broximal Point Method, or Ball Point…

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of a broad range of variations of the stochastic proximal point method (SPPM). Proximal point methods have attracted considerable interest owing to their numerical stability and robustness…

Classical Bundle Adjustment (BA) is fundamentally limited by its reliance on precise metric initialization and prior camera intrinsics. While modern dense matchers offer high-fidelity correspondences, traditional Structure-from-Motion (SfM)…

This paper extends the SQP-approach of the well-known bundle-Newton method for nonsmooth unconstrained minimization to the nonlinearly constrained case. Instead of using a penalty function or a filter or an improvement function to deal with…

Bundle methods have been intensively studied for solving both convex and nonconvex optimization problems. In most of the bundle methods developed thus far, at least one quadratic programming (QP) subproblem needs to be solved in each…

The Proximal Point Method (PPM) (Rockafellar, 1976) is a fundamental tool for nonsmooth convex optimization. However, its convergence is not linear under general convexity in the absence of strong convexity or other structural assumptions.…

This paper studies the primal-dual convergence and iteration-complexity of proximal bundle methods for solving nonsmooth problems with convex structures. More specifically, we develop a family of primal-dual proximal bundle methods for…

This study focuses on solving group zero-norm regularized robust loss minimization problems. We propose a proximal Majorization-Minimization (PMM) algorithm to address a class of equivalent Difference-of-Convex (DC) surrogate optimization…
