Binary optimization is a powerful tool for modeling combinatorial problems, yet scalable and theoretically sound solution methods remain elusive. Conventional solvers often rely on heuristic strategies with weak guarantees or struggle with…

We propose a new first-order primal-dual optimization framework for a convex optimization template with broad applications. Our optimization algorithms feature optimal convergence guarantees under a variety of common structure assumptions…

A generalized conditional gradient method for minimizing the sum of two convex functions, one of them differentiable, is presented. This iterative method relies on two main ingredients: First, the minimization of a partially linearized…

This paper is devoted to first-order algorithms for smooth convex optimization with inexact gradients. Unlike the majority of the literature on this topic, we consider the setting of relative rather than absolute inexactness. More…

We consider the convex-concave saddle point problem $\min_{\mathbf{x}}\max_{\mathbf{y}}\Phi(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y})$, where the decision variables $\mathbf{x}$ and/or $\mathbf{y}$ subject to a multi-block structure and affine coupling…

We develop primal-dual coordinate methods for solving bilinear saddle-point problems of the form $\min_{x \in \mathcal{X}} \max_{y\in\mathcal{Y}} y^\top A x$ which contain linear programming, classification, and regression as special cases.…

This work studies a class of non-smooth decentralized multi-agent optimization problems where the agents aim at minimizing a sum of local strongly-convex smooth components plus a common non-smooth term. We propose a general primal-dual…

This paper describes and establishes the iteration-complexity of a doubly accelerated inexact proximal point (D-AIPP) method for solving the nonconvex composite minimization problem whose objective function is of the form $f+h$ where $f$ is…

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 focus on the problem of minimizing the sum of smooth component functions (where the sum is strongly convex) and a non-smooth convex function, which arises in regularized empirical risk minimization in machine learning and distributed…

We present a parallelized primal-dual algorithm for solving constrained convex optimization problems. The algorithm is "block-based," in that vectors of primal and dual variables are partitioned into blocks, each of which is updated only by…

We introduce a unified algorithmic framework, called proximal-like incremental aggregated gradient (PLIAG) method, for minimizing the sum of a convex function that consists of additive relatively smooth convex components and a proper lower…

In this paper, we propose a penalty dual-primal augmented lagrangian method for solving convex minimization problems under linear equality or inequality constraints. The proposed method combines a novel penalty technique with updates the…

In this paper, we study zeroth-order algorithms for nonconvex minimax problems with coupled linear constraints under the deterministic and stochastic settings, which have attracted wide attention in machine learning, signal processing and…

In this paper, we propose an inertial accelerated primal-dual method for the linear equality constrained convex optimization problem. When the objective function has a ``nonsmooth + smooth'' composite structure, we further propose an…

We study the solution of minimax problems $\min_x \max_y G(x) + \langle K(x),y\rangle - F^*(y)$ in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. The functionals $G$ and $F^*$ we assume to be convex, but the operator $K$ we allow to be non-linear. We…

The $\ell_p$ regularization problem with $0< p< 1$ has been widely studied for finding sparse solutions of linear inverse problems and gained successful applications in various mathematics and applied science fields. The proximal gradient…

This work focuses on a class of general decentralized constraint-coupled optimization problems. We propose a novel nested primal-dual gradient algorithm (NPGA), which can achieve linear convergence under the weakest known condition, and its…

Near isometric orthogonal embeddings to lower dimensions are a fundamental tool in data science and machine learning. In this paper, we present the construction of such embeddings that minimizes the maximum distortion for a given set of…

With the widespread adoption of machine learning systems, the need to curtail their behavior has become increasingly apparent. This is evidenced by recent advancements towards developing models that satisfy robustness, safety, and fairness…
