The elastic net penalty is frequently employed in high-dimensional statistics for parameter regression and variable selection. It is particularly beneficial compared to lasso when the number of predictors greatly surpasses the number of…

This work presents a novel version of recently developed Gauss-Newton method for solving systems of nonlinear equations, based on upper bound of solution residual and quadratic regularization ideas. We obtained for such method global…

We consider the problem of learning a sparse graph under the Laplacian constrained Gaussian graphical models. This problem can be formulated as a penalized maximum likelihood estimation of the Laplacian constrained precision matrix. Like in…

We consider minimizing a sum of non-smooth objective functions with set constraints in a distributed manner. As to this problem, we propose a distributed algorithm with an exponential convergence rate for the first time. By the exact…

This paper investigates the optimality conditions for characterizing the local minimizers of the constrained optimization problems involving an $\ell_p$ norm ($0<p<1$) of the variables, which may appear in either the objective or the…

In this paper, we consider a non-convex problem which is the sum of $\ell_0$-norm and a convex smooth function under box constraint. We propose one proximal iterative hard thresholding type method with extrapolation step used for…

As surrogate functions of $L_0$-norm, many nonconvex penalty functions have been proposed to enhance the sparse vector recovery. It is easy to extend these nonconvex penalty functions on singular values of a matrix to enhance low-rank…

Many practical optimization problems involve objective function values that are corrupted by unavoidable numerical errors. In smooth nonconvex optimization, quasi-Newton methods combined with line search are widely used due to their…

We investigate convexification for convex quadratic optimization with step function penalties. Such problems can be cast as mixed-integer quadratic optimization problems, where binary variables are used to encode the non-convex step…

We construct an efficient numerical scheme for solving obstacle problems in divergence form. The numerical method is based on a reformulation of the obstacle in terms of an L1-like penalty on the variational problem. The reformulation is an…

This paper is devoted to studying the stationary solutions of a general constrained optimization problem through its associated unconstrained penalized problems. We aim to answer the question, "what do the stationary solutions of a…

In this paper, we propose a multilevel stochastic framework for the solution of nonconvex unconstrained optimization problems. The proposed approach uses random regularized first-order models that exploit an available hierarchical…

In this paper, we consider the nonlinear constrained optimization problem (NCP) with constraint set $\{x \in \mathcal{X}: c(x) = 0\}$, where $\mathcal{X}$ is a closed convex subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We propose an exact penalty approach,…

An adaptive regularization algorithm using inexact function and derivatives evaluations is proposed for the solution of composite nonsmooth nonconvex optimization. It is shown that this algorithm needs at most…

In sparse optimization, the $\ell_{1}$ norm is widely adopted for its convexity, yet it often yields solutions with smaller magnitudes than expected. To mitigate this drawback, various non-convex sparse penalties have been proposed. Some…

This work deals with a regularization method enforcing solution sparsity of linear ill-posed problems by appropriate discretization in the image space. Namely, we formulate the so called least error method in an $\ell^1$ setting and perform…

In recent studies on sparse modeling, the nonconvex regularization approaches (particularly, $L_{q}$ regularization with $q\in(0,1)$) have been demonstrated to possess capability of gaining much benefit in sparsity-inducing and efficiency.…

A new class of smooth exact penalty functions was recently introduced by Huyer and Neumaier. In this paper, we prove that the new smooth penalty function for a constrained optimization problem is exact if and only if the standard nonsmooth…

Many practical optimization problems lack strong convexity. Fortunately, recent studies have revealed that first-order algorithms also enjoy linear convergences under various weaker regularity conditions. While the relationship among…

The paper concerns optimization problems with general equality and inequality constraints and with constraints expressed by a convex set. In order to solve these problems, the general constraints are treated by an exact penalty functions…
