In this paper, we introduce the notion of generalized $\epsilon$-stationarity for a class of nonconvex and nonsmooth composite minimization problems on compact Riemannian submanifold embedded in Euclidean space. To find a generalized…

Distributed optimization has gained substantial interest in recent years due to its wide applications in machine learning. However, most of existing algorithms are designed for Euclidean spaces, leaving composite optimization on Riemannian…

Convex optimization is a well-established research area with applications in almost all fields. Over the decades, multiple approaches have been proposed to solve convex programs. The development of interior-point methods allowed solving a…

In this paper we give a new proof of the (strong) displacement convexity of a class of integral functionals defined on a compact Riemannian manifold satisfying a lower Ricci curvature bound. Our approach does not rely on existence and…

Matrix Factorization plays an important role in machine learning such as Non-negative Matrix Factorization, Principal Component Analysis, Dictionary Learning, etc. However, most of the studies aim to minimize the loss by measuring the…

Matrix-valued optimization tasks, including those involving symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices, arise in a wide range of applications in machine learning, data science and statistics. Classically, such problems are solved via…

In this work, we analyze two of the most fundamental algorithms in geodesically convex optimization: Riemannian gradient descent and (possibly inexact) Riemannian proximal point. We quantify their rates of convergence and produce different…

We determine the minimal equivariant embedding dimension of orthgonal groups acting on real flag manifolds and unitary groups acting on complex flag manifolds. The minimal embedding dimension is achieved at isospectral model.

In this paper we consider the problem of approximating Euclidean distances by the infinite integer grid graph. Although the topology of the graph is fixed, we have control over the edge-weight assignment $w:E\to \mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}$, and…

Given a set of points in the Euclidean plane, the Euclidean \textit{$\delta$-minimum spanning tree} ($\delta$-MST) problem is the problem of finding a spanning tree with maximum degree no more than $\delta$ for the set of points such the…

We determine a nice simple formula for the largest Euclidean space for which there is an orientable n-manifold with a nonimmersion detected by Stiefel-Whitney classes. For Spin manifolds, we prove the analogue of the upper bound and…

We consider the optimization problem with a generally quadratic matrix constraint of the form $X^TAX = J$, where $A$ is a given nonsingular, symmetric $n\times n$ matrix and $J$ is a given $k\times k$ symmetric matrix, with $k\leq n$,…

We discuss the relation between the Wasserstein distance of order 1 between probability distributions on a metric space, arising in the study of Monge-Kantorovich transport problem, and the spectral distance of noncommutative geometry.…

We propose a novel second-order ODE as the continuous-time limit of a Riemannian accelerated gradient-based method on a manifold with curvature bounded from below. This ODE can be seen as a generalization of the ODE derived for Euclidean…

For addressing optimisation tasks on finite dimensional quantum systems, we give a comprehensive account of the foundations of gradient flows on Riemannian manifolds including new developments: we extend former results from Lie groups such…

This paper focuses on minimizing a smooth function combined with a nonsmooth regularization term on a compact Riemannian submanifold embedded in the Euclidean space under a decentralized setting. Typically, there are two types of approaches…

This paper proposes a novel general framework of Riemannian conjugate gradient methods, that is, conjugate gradient methods on Riemannian manifolds. The conjugate gradient methods are important first-order optimization algorithms both in…

Affine Grassmannian has been favored for expressing proximity between lines and planes due to its theoretical exactness in measuring distances among features. Despite this advantage, the existing method can only measure the proximity…

Dueling optimization considers optimizing an objective with access to only a comparison oracle of the objective function. It finds important applications in emerging fields such as recommendation systems and robotics. Existing works on…

We study a continuous-time system that solves optimization problems over the set of orthonormal matrices, which is also known as the Stiefel manifold. The resulting optimization flow follows a path that is not always on the manifold but…
