We address the problem of solving convex optimization problems with many convex constraints in a distributed setting. Our approach is based on an extension of the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) that recently gained a lot…

The Augmented Lagrangian Alternating Direction Inexact Newton (ALADIN) method is a cutting-edge distributed optimization algorithm known for its superior numerical performance. It relies on each agent transmitting information to a central…

Augmented Lagrangian Method (ALM) combined with Burer-Monteiro (BM) factorization, dubbed ALM-BM, offers a powerful approach for solving large-scale low-rank semidefinite programs (SDPs). Despite its empirical success, the theoretical…

A sparse linear programming (SLP) problem is a linear programming problem equipped with a sparsity (or cardinality) constraint, which is nonconvex and discontinuous theoretically and generally NP-hard computationally due to the…

We analyze the convergence behaviour of a recently proposed algorithm for regularized estimation called Dual Augmented Lagrangian (DAL). Our analysis is based on a new interpretation of DAL as a proximal minimization algorithm. We…

In this paper we study an unconventional inexact Augmented Lagrangian Method (ALM) for convex optimization problems, as first proposed by Bertsekas, wherein the penalty term is a potentially non-Euclidean norm raised to a power between one…

Solving real-world optimal control problems are challenging tasks, as the complex, high-dimensional system dynamics are usually unrevealed to the decision maker. It is thus hard to find the optimal control actions numerically. To deal with…

We give a damped proximal augmented Lagrangian method (DPALM) for solving problems with a weakly-convex objective and convex linear/nonlinear constraints. Instead of taking a full stepsize, DPALM adopts a damped dual stepsize to ensure the…

The Knapsack Problem is a classic problem in combinatorial optimisation. Solving these problems may be computationally expensive. Recent years have seen a growing interest in the use of deep learning methods to approximate the solutions to…
