In a recent work (arXiv-DOI: 1804.08072v1) we introduced the Modified Augmented Lagrangian Method (MALM) for the efficient minimization of objective functions with large quadratic penalty terms. From MALM there results an optimality…

This paper proposes and establishes the iteration-complexity of an inexact proximal accelerated augmented Lagrangian (IPAAL) method for solving linearly constrained smooth nonconvex composite optimization problems. Each IPAAL iteration…

Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) offer huge potential to improve the performance of automated vehicles (AVs) without communication capabilities, especially in situations when the vehicles (or agents) need to be cooperative to…

First-order methods have been studied for nonlinear constrained optimization within the framework of the augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) or penalty method. We propose an improved inexact ALM (iALM) and conduct a unified analysis for…

This paper investigates the cooperative planning and control problem for multiple connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) in different scenarios. In the existing literature, most of the methods suffer from significant problems in computational…

We formulate an optimization problem for maximizing the data rate of a common message transmitted from nodes within an airborne network broadcast to a central station receiver while maintaining a set of intra-network rate demands. Assuming…

Simulating the time evolution of physical systems is pivotal in many scientific and engineering problems. An open challenge in simulating such systems is their multi-resolution dynamics: a small fraction of the system is extremely dynamic,…

Integer programming with block structures has received considerable attention recently and is widely used in many practical applications such as train timetabling and vehicle routing problems. It is known to be NP-hard due to the presence…

Deep neural networks have achieved remarkable success across a variety of tasks, yet they often suffer from unreliable probability estimates. As a result, they can be overconfident in their predictions. Conformal Prediction (CP) offers a…

Support vector machines (SVMs) are successful modeling and prediction tools with a variety of applications. Previous work has demonstrated the superiority of the SVMs in dealing with the high dimensional, low sample size problems. However,…

We study policy optimization for infinite-horizon, discounted constrained Markov decision processes (CMDPs). While existing theoretical guarantees typically hold for the mixture policy, deploying such a policy is computationally and memory…

Non-convex functional constrained optimization problems have gained substantial attention in machine learning and data science, addressing broad requirements that typically go beyond the often performance-centric objectives. An influential…

This paper develops the proximal method of multipliers for a class of nonsmooth convex optimization. The method generates a sequence of minimization problems (subproblems). We show that the sequence of approximations to the solutions of the…

We study a class of structured convex optimization problems, which have a two-block separable objective and nonlinear functional constraints as well as affine constraints that couple the two block variables. Such problems naturally arise…

The alternating direction method with multipliers (ADMM) has been one of most powerful and successful methods for solving various convex or nonconvex composite problems that arise in the fields of image & signal processing and machine…

We propose an augmented Lagrangian-type algorithm for the solution of generalized Nash equilibrium problems (GNEPs). Specifically, we discuss the convergence properties with regard to both feasibility and optimality of limit points. This is…

In this paper, we consider a network of agents that jointly aim to minimise the sum of local functions subject to coupling constraints involving all local variables. To solve this problem, we propose a novel solution based on a primal-dual…
