In this paper we consider the use of probabilistic or random models within a classical trust-region framework for optimization of deterministic smooth general nonlinear functions. Our method and setting differs from many stochastic…

In this article, we develop a trust-region technique to find critical points of unconstrained set optimization problems with the objective set-valued map defined by finitely many twice continuously differentiable functions. The technique is…

In this work, we present a heretofore unseen application of Ising machines to perform trust region-based optimisation with box constraints. This is done by considering a specific form of opto-electronic oscillator-based coherent Ising…

We develop a Levenberg-Marquardt method for minimizing the sum of a smooth nonlinear least-squar es term $f(x) = \tfrac{1}{2} \|F(x)\|_2^2$ and a nonsmooth term $h$. Both $f$ and $h$ may be nonconvex. Steps are computed by minimizing the…

In the development of first-order methods for smooth (resp., composite) convex optimization problems, where smooth functions with Lipschitz continuous gradients are minimized, the gradient (resp., gradient mapping) norm becomes a…

In [R. J. Baraldi and D. P. Kouri, Math. Program., 201:1 (2023), pp. 559-598], the authors introduced a trust-region method for minimizing the sum of a smooth nonconvex and a nonsmooth convex function, the latter of which has an analytical…

Selecting an effective step-size is a fundamental challenge in first-order optimization, especially for problems with non-Euclidean geometries. This paper presents a novel adaptive step-size strategy for optimization algorithms that rely on…

In large-scale applications, such as machine learning, it is desirable to design non-convex optimization algorithms with a high degree of parallelization. In this work, we study the adaptive complexity of finding a stationary point, which…

Optimization with matrix gradient orthogonalization has recently demonstrated impressive results in the training of deep neural networks (Jordan et al., 2024; Liu et al., 2025). In this paper, we provide a theoretical analysis of this…

Optimizing industrial processes often involves gray-box models that couple algebraic glass-box equations with black-box components lacking analytic derivatives. Such systems challenge derivative-based solvers. The classical trust-region…

In this work, we present a trust-region optimization framework that employs Hermite kernel surrogate models. The method targets optimization problems with computationally demanding objective functions, for which direct optimization is often…

We develop a Trust Region method with Regularized Barzilai-Borwein step-size obtained in a previous paper for solving large-scale unconstrained optimization problems. Simultaneously, the non-monotone technique is combined to formulate an…

Without randomization, escaping the saddle points of $f \colon \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}$ requires at least $\Omega(d)$ pieces of information about $f$ (values, gradients, Hessian-vector products). With randomization, this can be reduced…

Machine learning (ML) problems are often posed as highly nonlinear and nonconvex unconstrained optimization problems. Methods for solving ML problems based on stochastic gradient descent are easily scaled for very large problems but may…

We prove the first convergence guarantees for a subgradient method minimizing a generic Lipschitz function over generic Lipschitz inequality constraints. No smoothness or convexity (or weak convexity) assumptions are made. Instead, we…

We extend traditional complexity analyses of trust-region methods for unconstrained, possibly nonconvex, optimization. Whereas most complexity analyses assume uniform boundedness of the model Hessians, we work with potentially unbounded…

We study unconstrained Online Linear Optimization with Lipschitz losses. Motivated by the pursuit of instance optimality, we propose a new algorithm that simultaneously achieves ($i$) the AdaGrad-style second order gradient adaptivity; and…

We establish a local $\mathcal{O}(k^{-2})$ rate for the gradient update $x^{k+1}=x^k-\nabla f(x^k)/\sqrt{H\|\nabla f(x^k)\|}$ under a $2H$-Hessian--Lipschitz assumption. Regime detection relies on Hessian--vector products, avoiding Hessian…

This paper proposes a stochastic variant of a classic algorithm---the cubic-regularized Newton method [Nesterov and Polyak 2006]. The proposed algorithm efficiently escapes saddle points and finds approximate local minima for general…

Using tail bounds, we introduce a new probabilistic condition for function estimation in stochastic derivative-free optimization which leads to a reduction in the number of samples and eases algorithmic analyses. Moreover, we develop simple…
