We consider the problem of decomposing a regular non-negative function as a sum of squares of functions which preserve some form of regularity. In the same way as decomposing non-negative polynomials as sum of squares of polynomials allows…

We propose an extension of a special form of gradient descent -- in the literature known as linearised Bregman iteration -- to a larger class of non-convex functions. We replace the classical (squared) two norm metric in the gradient…

In this paper, we analyze some theoretical properties of the problem of minimizing a quadratic function with a cubic regularization term, arising in many methods for unconstrained and constrained optimization that have been proposed in the…

We extend the investigation of the reparametrization invariance of Heavy Quark Effective Theory to O(1/m_Q^3). We show that to this order reparametrization invariance can only be maintained if the the reparametrization transformation is…

Reconstruction of density functions and their characteristic functions by radial basis functions with scattered data points is a popular topic in the theory of pricing of basket options. Such functions are usually entire or admit an…

In this paper we present a cubic regularized Newton's method to minimize a smooth function over a Riemannian manifold. The proposed algorithm is shown to reach a second-order $\epsilon$-stationary point within…

In this paper, we propose several calculus rules for the generalized concave Kurdyka-\L ojasiewicz (KL) property, which generalize Li and Pong's results for KL exponents. The optimal concave desingularizing function has various forms and…

An abstract convergence theorem for a class of generalized descent methods that explicitly models relative errors is proved. The convergence theorem generalizes and unifies several recent abstract convergence theorems. It is applicable to…

In this paper, we study stochastic constrained minimax optimization problems with nonconvex-nonconcave structure, a central problem in modern machine learning, for which reliable and efficient algorithms remain largely unexplored due to its…

Following their appearance in 2014, so-called shifted square and maximal functions have seen an eruption of use in the study of singular integral operators. In this paper, we will generalize a recent theorem of G. Dosidis, B. Park, and L.…

We establish a family of subspace-based learning method for multi-view learning using the least squares as the fundamental basis. Specifically, we investigate orthonormalized partial least squares (OPLS) and study its important properties…

For a proper extended real-valued function, this work focuses on the relationship between the subregularity of its subdifferential mapping relative to the critical set and its KL property of exponent 1/2. When the function is lsc convex, we…

Identifiability, and the closely related idea of partial smoothness, unify classical active set methods and more general notions of solution structure. Diverse optimization algorithms generate iterates in discrete time that are eventually…

Building on and extending tools from variational analysis, we prove Kuratowski convergence of sets of simplicial area minimizers to minimizers of the smooth Douglas-Plateau problem under simplicial refinement. This convergence is with…

Almost universally in computer vision, when surface derivatives are required, they are computed using only first order accurate finite difference approximations. We propose a new method for computing numerical derivatives based on 2D…

We develop a computationally efficient algorithm for the automatic regularization of nonlinear inverse problems based on the discrepancy principle. We formulate the problem as an equality constrained optimization problem, where the…

Solving dual quaternion equations is an important issue in many fields such as scientific computing and engineering applications. In this paper, we first introduce a new metric function for dual quaternion matrices. Then, we reformulate…

Dual to Koldobsky's notion of j-intersection bodies, the class of j-projection bodies is introduced, generalizing Minkowski's classical notion of projection bodies of convex bodies. A Fourier analytic characterization of j-projection bodies…

We introduce a proximal limited--memory quasi--Newton scheme for minimizing the sum of a continuously differentiable function and a proper, lower semicontinuous and prox-bounded, possibly nonsmooth, function. Both functions might be…

We consider the composite minimization problem with the objective function being the sum of a continuously differentiable and a merely lower semicontinuous and extended-valued function. The proximal gradient method is probably the most…
